A grand opening of its new North American customization plant was held Wednesday, Sept. 4 with executives from Develon headquarters and North America and Wallenius Wilhelmsen in attendance.
The company opened its first North American customization center in July 2019 in collaboration with Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
With growth within Develon, there was a need to expand the capabilities and capacities of the current facility by relocating to a new, larger plant.
Develon and Wallenius Wilhelmsen have had a long-standing relationship for 24 years and will continue by collaborating in the relocation and operation of this new facility. As a result, Develon dealers and customers will receive new machines faster and meet stricter quality standards thanks to the company’s larger state-of-the-art customization facility in Brunswick.
At the new plant, Develon employees with Wallenius Wilhelmsen will manage the final assembly and configuration of construction equipment, ensuring the highest quality standards are maintained. The new state-of-the-art facility is 50% larger than the current customization plant in Savannah, Georgia, offering enhanced production capabilities, a dedicated machine storage yard and an expanded indoor warehouse.
“Our new customization plant in Brunswick will allow us to expedite our services for our dealers and our customers,” says Chris Jeong, president/CEO at Develon. “It’s a much larger facility than the previous customization plant, with dedicated space for our machines, and will better meet the custom needs of our dealers and our customers with an array of final assembly options.”
The customization facility in Brunswick is located close to Interstate 95, allowing for convenient transportation once Develon machines are ready for shipment, optimizing delivery lead times. Develon maintains its North American headquarters in Suwanee, Georgia, including a parts distribution center. Additionally, starting in August 2024, Develon operates a dedicated warehouse in Georgia.
