DEVELON Celebrates Grand Opening of New Customization Plant

Published: 27/9

DEVELON recently celebrated the grand opening of its new North American customization plant in Brunswick, Ga., on Wednesday, Sept. 4. The new 93,000-f2 (8,640m2) facility is 50% larger than DEVELON’s existing customization plant in Savannah, Ga., opened in 2019. Rapid demand for DEVELON products necessitated the relocation in order to provide the needed long-term production capacity, as well as a dedicated machine storage yard, and an expanded indoor warehouse.

The new facility will be operated jointly by DEVELON and logistics specialist Wallenius Wilhelmsen, ensuring that each type of equipment is configured and assembled to the highest quality standards. HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, DEVELON’s parent company, will also use the facility to customize its branded products prior to delivery to dealers.

The customization facility’s close proximity to Interstate 95, allowing for convenient transportation once the machines are ready for shipment, optimizing delivery lead times.

Georgia is already home to multiple DEVELON operations. The North American headquarters in Suwanee includes a parts distribution center for readily available DEVELON machine parts. Earlier this year, the company opened a dedicated product warehouse in the state.
