Doosan is now Develon
The familiar brand of orange construction
equipment known as Doosan will now be called DEVELON throughout the world.
Under the new brand name, the company says it will continue providing
innovative products and solutions that exceed expectations, further cementing
its status as a global leader in construction equipment and solutions for the
infrastructure industry.
Work began to identify a new brand name to
replace Doosan following the August 2021 sale of Doosan Infracore to HD Hyundai
(formerly Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings Co. HHIH). The name DEVELON was
chosen to convey the company's drive to develop onward to bring innovative
solutions to the construction equipment industry through technological
transformation and the development of exceptional equipment and services.
"We believe the new DEVELON brand will
help us build on the success we've had in North America over the past 30 years
and throughout the world for more than 80 years," says Todd Roecker, vice
president of growth initiatives.
DEVELON will continue to focus on
manufacturing construction equipment to build critical infrastructure for the
betterment of communities and societies in North America and beyond. DEVELON
products and services will help users and partners become industry leaders in
construction, logging, recycling, mining, rental, and agriculture. Efforts will
also be placed on advancing sustainable development through alternative energy
sources of power for construction equipment.
