Develon and HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America opened a customization plant in Brunswick, Georgia.
The customization plant is not the first for Develon, which opened its first North American customization center in 2019 in collaboration with Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
According to Develon, the new customization plant in Brunswick is necessary due to the growth it achieved over the last five years. Develon says it continues to collaborate with Wallenius Wilhelmsen with the relocation and operation of the Brunswick plant.
“Our new customization plant in Brunswick will allow us to expedite our services for our dealers and our customers,” says Chris Jeong, president and 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.”
For Hyundai, the customization center’s primary purpose is to streamline the machine delivery process and maintain adequate inventory.
“This state-of-the-art facility will help us reduce the lead time needed to get fully assembled machines to our customers,” says Stan Park, president and CEO of HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen will continue to provide logistics support to Hyundai, the company adds.
