DEVELON growth has led the company to build a new factory in the state of Georgia, and the new facility will allow for faster delivery of equipment.
Main takeaways include:
- DEVELON celebrated the grand opening of the North American Customization Plant in Brunswick, Georgia, on Wednesday, Sept. 4. Executives from DEVELON Headquarters and North America and Wallenius Wilhelmsen attended the ceremony.
- The new factory will allow DEVELON dealers and customers to receive new machines faster and meet stricter quality standards thanks to the company’s larger state-of-the-art customization facility in Brunswick.
- The new facility is 50% larger than the current Customization Plant in Savannah, Ga., offering improved production, 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. In August, DEVELON began operating a warehouse in Georgia.
HD Hyundai made a similar announcement about a new factory in Georgia. DEVELON and HD Hyundai are separate brands but both owned by HD Hyundai XiteSolution.
