China Dalian International Economic & Technical Cooperation Group (CDIG) is a Chinese corporation operating in sectors such as construction and engineering, real estate development, maritime shipping, import-export commerce, fishing, aquaculture, and processing of aquatic products.
The company's construction segment places significant emphasis on international ventures, achieving $529.1 million in revenue during 2012, with $469.8 million derived from projects abroad. CDIG's operations span a variety of countries ranging from Syria to Suriname. In Syria, the firm obtained a contract in 2008 to expand liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage facilities in Banias, completing four spherical tanks by 2009 and an additional three tanks in 2010. Its road maintenance activities in Suriname were noted by the New York Times as an example of China's expanding influence in the region.
In Tanzania, CDIG initiated plans for a $136 million wind energy project located in the Singida region starting in 2014, with the goal of producing electricity by 2015. This initiative consists of two stages—a first phase generating 50 MW followed by a second phase adding 150 MW—and is projected to create approximately 1,000 jobs locally while including the construction of 17 kilometers of roads.
The company underwent privatization on January 8, 2010.
