Develon opened a new construction equipment training, testing and education facility called the HD Construction Equipment Real Operation Center in Tucson, Arizona.
The new facility replaces the previous testing and training center. It’s located adjacent to the Tucson International Airport and provides a site to hold training sessions, host dealer and customer events, and test Develon equipment.
“For the past 15 years at our former facility, we hosted thousands of construction equipment owners, operators and dealer representatives for hands-on training, product testing and special events,” says Morgan Stallings, senior director of dealer development and marketing at Develon. “The new facility will build upon its success and support our North American dealers. It will have acres of open operation area where visitors can come year-round to see and feel what makes Develon machines different from other brands.”
Develon says a permanent building is planned for the site. Service bays will be available for dealer training and maintenance purposes.
“The training facility plays a key role in what we do,” says Armand Cencetti, vice president of sales at Best Line Equipment. “It helps our sales team get hands-on equipment experience and gives us a place to test machines and gather real data. And it lets us bring in customers to see and demo Develon equipment in person, building stronger, long-standing relationships along the way.”
