The approval of the business delegates highlights the export strength of manufacturing enterprises in GETDZ. The zone has steadfastly promoted new industrialization, empowering enterprises to expand internationally through greater policy support and comprehensive services, achieving remarkable results in foreign trade.

Chery Bus Co, with its customized research and development as well as technological expertise, secured over 400 foreign trade orders in the first quarter of 2026, with its products now being exported to 20 countries and regions worldwide.

In addition, Jonyang Co has doubled its excavator export volume. The company's engineering machinery has been exported to Russia, the Philippines, East Africa, and other countries and regions. It has also stationed dedicated sales teams in key markets across the Middle East and North Africa to provide long-term on-site services.

The visit by the Croatian business delegates not only signifies recognition of the manufacturing strength in GETDZ, but also serves as a bridge for local enterprises to connect with the European market. GETDZ will continue to strengthen enterprise development and service support, paving the way for the high-quality growth of foreign trade.
