2025-12-08
On December 4, the Jiangsu (Jingjiang) Port‑Shipping Digital‑Intelligent Logistics Conference, hosted by the Jiangsu Provincial Logistics Industry Promotion Association and co-organized by Jiangsu Guoliang Storage Engineering Co., Ltd., was held in Jingjiang. The conference focused on implementing the “Water Transport in Jiangsu” strategy and featured discussions on the end-to-end digital‑intelligent transformation of the entire industrial chain—covering industry, trade, ports, shipping, and digital platforms. At present, water transport in Jiangsu is experiencing robust growth, with port throughput consistently leading the nation, as the sector enters a new phase of equipment upgrades centered on intelligence and efficiency. Against this backdrop, Jiangsu Guoliang Storage Engineering Co., Ltd. highlighted its… Introduce and assimilate The innovative Berga series of ship loaders offers a new generation of high‑efficiency, low‑consumption solutions for the port grain logistics industry.
Over 70 years of Italian industrial heritage — Berga ship loaders have been deployed at China National Grain Corporation.
The Berga brand was founded in 1952, initially focusing on the manufacture of feed equipment, grain silos, rice-processing machinery, and port grain-handling systems. Over the following decades, through a series of strategic acquisitions of world‑leading grain‑handling companies, it has built a robust technological platform and established a strong brand legacy:
1989: Acquired Sangati, a company with over 140 years of history, and established Sangati-Berga.
1999: Acquired Golfetto, a globally renowned flour‑milling equipment manufacturer with over 70 years of history, and established the GBS Group (Golfetto‑Berga‑Sangati).
2008: GBS was acquired by Italy’s Pavan.
2017: The Pavan Group was acquired by Germany’s GEA.
2023: The Berga brand was acquired by Italy’s Bedeschi.
August 2025: Jiangsu Guoliang Engineering completed the acquisition of the Berga brand, along with all associated ship‑handling machinery technologies and technical drawings, from Bedeschi, while simultaneously acquiring GBS from GEA. With this transaction, Berga’s decades‑long body of technological expertise, manufacturing standards, intellectual property, and engineering experience were fully integrated into the Guoliang system. Guoliang has thus become the sole inheritor and the next‑generation practitioner of this global port grain‑handling technology ecosystem. Berga’s addition has provided a critical missing piece to Guoliang’s ecosystem spanning grain storage, logistics, and port‑equipment solutions.
With the acquisition of Berga, Guoliang officially possesses:
Ship-to-shore crane manufacturing technology and branding
Complete technical documentation and drawings of the European industrial system
Transnational Design Codes and Engineering Experience
Guoliang has established a unified, end-to-end product system that spans the entire value chain: port handling (Berga) — conveying (scraper conveyors / air‑cushion conveyors / belt conveyors) — drying (drying towers) — storage (steel silos). As a result, Guoliang has become the world’s only integrated solutions provider with EPC general contracting capabilities for port terminals.
Six compelling reasons to choose the Guoliang Berga ship loader?
At the conference, Xu Feng, General Manager of Marketing for the Ship-Unloading Machine Division of Jiangsu Guoliang, highlighted Berga’s technical highlights and application scenarios, emphasizing the company’s six core competitive advantages:
1. High-standard design rooted in the Italian industrial system
Berga ship loaders are rigorously designed in accordance with European industrial standards, featuring a compact structure, stable operation, and high safety. Backed by more than a hundred projects worldwide, they have become synonymous with “reliability and high performance.”
2. Lightweight structural design significantly reduces terminal investment costs.
The new-generation Berga ship‑unloader features a lightweight main structure; its 1,000‑ton‑per‑hour capacity model weighs approximately 80 tonnes less than comparable equipment, significantly reducing port‑side load requirements and lowering both construction investment and equipment procurement costs, thereby delivering clear economic advantages.
3. Intelligent multi-motor drive system, delivering industry-leading energy efficiency.
The equipment employs intelligent multi-motor collaborative drive technology, achieving an energy consumption of just 0.39 kWh per ton of material—80% of that of comparable products—thereby helping ports significantly reduce operating costs.
4. One machine capable of both loading and unloading, suitable for vessels ranging from 2,000 to 120,000 tons.

5. Dual-operation mode and plow‑type continuous tracking interface enable efficient, unattended operation.
It supports both cab‑mounted operation and remote control from the ship’s deck, and features a plow‑type continuous interface that moves in sync with the trolley, eliminating the need for manual inspection and supervision, thereby significantly enhancing operational safety and continuous efficiency.
6. Achieve end-to-end compatibility with national grain-handling equipment, establishing a green, efficient, and integrated system.
The Berga ship‑unloading machine can be seamlessly integrated with national grain scraper conveyors, belt conveyors, and air‑cushion conveyors to create an end‑to‑end logistics system that links the quay to the warehouse—characterized by low losses, reduced energy consumption, and full automation.
Looking ahead, Guoliang will continue to drive the intelligent upgrading of grain handling at ports, striving to build a low-carbon, highly efficient grain logistics equipment system and committing to delivering safer, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly end-to-end solutions to global port and shipping customers. Amid the wave of “Waterborne Transport in Jiangsu,” Guoliang stands ready to join forces with industry partners to inject stronger “China‑made” momentum into the modernization of grain logistics.
