DEVELON Celebrates Grand Opening Of New Customization Plant

DEVELON celebrated the grand opening of the North American customization plant in Brunswick, Ga., on Wednesday, Sept. 4., with a ceremony featuring executives from both DEVELON Headquarters and its North American office, as well as partner Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

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 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.

DEVELON employees, in coordination with Wallenius Wilhelmsen, will manage the final assembly and configuration of 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, offering enhanced production capabilities, a dedicated machine storage yard and an expanded indoor warehouse.

The customization facility in Brunswick is located close to I-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, as of August 2024, DEVELON operates a dedicated warehouse in Georgia.
