Being highly appreciated by scientists for their bold ideas and ideas, Nguyen Tang Cuong, Director of Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise, humbly admits that he has low academic titles and degrees, only passion. In the production process, the spirit is not afraid of difficulties and difficulties, being immersed in the reality of production in order to draw experience and go to success. His special creativity in the field of manufacturing lifting equipment in Vietnam has put him on par with the famous scientists who received the Ho Chi Minh Prize in the first phase of 2012 - this is a noble award. Vietnam's highest price, reviewed and published every 5 years.
 
Starting a business with a bicycle and motorbike repair shop after fulfilling his military service to the State, which is a bit gifted, Mr. Nguyen Tang Cuong started tinkering and repairing and manufacturing cylinders. cow heads from used cars at cheap prices, the product is quickly accepted by the market. In 1989, Nguyen Tang Cuong decided to set up a production complex, then gradually got some capital, Nguyen Tang Cuong upgraded to a mechanical workshop and until 1991, Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise was born. In those years, all self-lifting equipment (including cranes, gantry cranes, gantry cranes, crawler cranes, tire cranes, etc.) had to be imported from abroad with high prices, while the industry domestic machinery manufacture is always underemployed, a large number of skilled people have to find "left-handed" jobs to earn a living. This is a nightmare of Nguyen Tang Cuong, so that when he has the blood of passion about mechanical engineering in him, Mr. Cuong has overcome all difficulties, made his dream come true and succeeded. .

In order for people to believe, buy his goods, he decided to risk selling cranes for those in need. Thanks to good quality, cheap price, fast speed, long warranty, products of the Enterprise have won the market's trust. From specializing in supplying spare parts such as ball bearings, pads and metallurgical mechanical products to cement plants, up to now, Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise has manufactured about 50 types of cranes, including: gantry crane, gantry crane, gantry crane, tower crane ... The successful manufacture of lifting equipment not only opens a new direction for businesses but also opens a new page for Vietnam's mechanical engineering industry. save a large amount of foreign currency for the country due to no longer having to import. In particular, the success of the manufacture of rotating rims for the stand cranes surprised the scientists. According to scientists, in Vietnam, if you want to do, you must invest thousands of billion dong in funding and no one dared to do it but he accepted it, and it cost only a few tens of billion dong. In recent years, Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise has become one of the big private enterprises with nearly 1,500 officials and workers; of which 26% are university and engineer degrees, 36% are advanced workers, the rest are workers from level 3/7 and above and unskilled workers. Every year, the Enterprise provides thousands of tons of equipment and hundreds of cranes of all kinds for industries throughout the country such as Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group, Cement Corporation, Vietnam Electricity. Vietnam Chemical Corporation…
 
Up to this point, Labor Hero Nguyen Tang Cuong is proud in the field of crane manufacturing in Vietnam, he has no "rivals". 9 out of 12 types of cranes manufactured by your Enterprise are technologically owned. In which the largest type 1,200 tons. In the near future, he also undertakes a 3,000-ton floating crane for the oil and gas industry.

The joy is also a pride for Director Nguyen Tang Cuong when at the beginning of 2012, he was honored to be awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize for the project cluster "applying 5 scientific and technological solutions for manufacturing all kinds of lifting equipment in Vietnam. ". This is the highest award for science and technology for the contributions of scientists who have made important contributions to the development of the country.
 
Being a son of his native Ninh Binh, when Ninh Binh province decided to establish Dinh Bo Linh Study and Encouragement Fund from the founders' ideas: Lien Viet Post Bank, Him Lam Joint Stock Company and Xuan Thanh Economic Group with the purpose of sponsoring and supporting pupils and students who are children of Ninh Binh province and those who are living and working in Ninh Binh province are subject to excellent study, excellent and talented study.
