Representatives from Wallenius Wilhelmsen and leadership from HD Hyundai group/DEVELON celebrated the opening of the new customization plant in Brunswick, Ga.

DEVELON celebrated the grand opening of the North American Customization Plant in Brunswick, Ga., on Sept. 4. Executives from DEVELON headquarters and North America and Wallenius Wilhelmsen attended the ceremony.

DEVELON opened its first North American Customization Center in July 2019 in collaboration with Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Due to the successes and growths within DEVELON, there is a need to expand the capabilities and capacities of the current site by relocating to a new, larger North American customization 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 customization plant. As a result, DEVELON dealers and customers will receive new machines faster and meet stricter quality standards due to the company's larger modern customization facility in Brunswick.

DEVELON employees in coordination with Wallenius Wilhelmsen will manage the final assembly and configuration of construction equipment, ensuring the highest quality standards are maintained, the company said. The new facility is 50 percent larger than the current customization plant in Savannah, Ga., 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," said 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, Ga., including a parts distribution center for readily available DEVELON machine parts. Additionally, starting in August 2024, DEVELON operates a dedicated warehouse in Georgia.
