SBM Flag Flies Atop Mount Kilimanjaro, the Roof of Africa

2026-09-30 | Author: Shibang Group

Recently, contemporary artist Sun Ning—the first female climber from Henan to successfully scale Mount Everest from both the North and South slopes—conquered Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at an elevation of 5,895 meters.

Following her summit flag display on Mt. Everest, the brand flag of SBM, bearing the motto "From Rock to Foundation, Step by Step to the Peak; Global Horizons, Ultimate Machinery," was proudly unfurled once again at the snowy equatorial summit. This marks a profound resonance between Sun Ning's unyielding climbing spirit and SBM's corporate vision of "aiming high and forging ahead."

Two Rocks, One Spirit

Prior to her departure, Sun Ning paid a special visit to the SBM Ore Museum. She had previously donated a sedimentary rock specimen collected during her Mt. Everest expedition to the museum, where it stands as an emblem of the relentless spirit of "scaling new heights."

The ascent up Mt. Kilimanjaro presented severe challenges to the team's willpower and physical endurance, requiring them to traverse diverse ecological zones—from lush tropical rainforests to icy barrens. Sun Ning and her team persevered step by step, overcoming all obstacles to complete a successful summit. Upon her return, Sun Ning officially presented SBM with a volcanic rock specimen brought back from Mt. Kilimanjaro.

With this donation, two precious rock specimens—one from Mt. Everest, the "Roof of the World," and the other from Mt. Kilimanjaro, the "Roof of Africa"—now stand side by side in the SBM Ore Museum. Displayed together, these twin specimens serve as a tangible testament to the powerful synergy between high-altitude exploration and SBM's fearless, craftsmanship-driven enterprise spirit.
