Develon Has Opened A New Equipment Training And Testing Facility In Arizona

Develon has reaffirmed its long-term dedication to dealer support, practical learning, and product development by formally opening a new training, testing, and education facility for construction equipment in the United States. The new location, called the HD Construction Equipment Real Operation Center, or ROC, is close to the Tucson International Airport in Tucson, Arizona.

Develon’s former training and testing facility, which ran for years on a mine site south of the city, has been replaced by this facility. Develon has made itself a more accessible and convenient destination for dealer teams, operators, and customers traveling from all over North America by moving closer to the airport.

What is the significance of location in equipment assessment?

Develon claims that the new ROC is intended to act as a focal point for dealer and customer interaction, real-world equipment testing, and advanced technology training. Visitors can observe Develon’s present and future heavy and compact equipment in operation in the site’s expansive open operating areas.

Over the previous 15 years, Develon hosted thousands of equipment owners, operators, and dealer representatives at the former location, according to Morgan Stallings, senior director of dealer development and marketing. The new center expands year-round access and operational flexibility while building upon that foundation. Giving guests the chance to fully observe, use, and comprehend what sets Develon machines apart from rival brands is the aim.

Experts with experience in the field will deliver the instruction

Develon intends to provide both classroom-based instruction and real-world, hands-on equipment experience at the HDCE ROC. The company has confirmed plans for a permanent building at the location, even though training is already in progress. Dedicated classrooms and service bays created especially for dealer training and maintenance education will be part of this future building.

Additionally, center visitors will have direct access to Develon subject matter experts. Operators and sales teams can thoroughly examine machine features, comprehend design variations, and witness technology demonstrations in person during these one-on-one meetings. Instead of being displayed in a controlled showroom, innovations like Develon’s Transparent Bucket system and the around-view monitor camera technology will be demonstrated under actual operating conditions.

Develon’s strategic change brings more advancement in the equipment industry

Additionally, the new ROC is intimately linked to more significant organizational changes. Develon is now a member of HD Construction Equipment, a brand-new organization that was established on January 1 as a result of the merger of HD Hyundai Infracore and HD Hyundai Construction Equipment. The group hopes to take advantage of global resources, manufacturing know-how, and shared technologies between the Hyundai and Develon brands through this merger.

In October, Develon began construction on the Tucson facility, indicating that the center is a long-term strategy to support growth in the North American market rather than a short-term investment.

US market is going to flourish with these initiatives

Develon is demonstrating its priorities by establishing a state-of-the-art, easily accessible training and testing facility in Arizona. Through practical experience, the HDCE Real Operation Center aims to empower operators, assist dealers, and provide customers with a more comprehensive understanding of the brand.

Investments like this demonstrate Develon’s emphasis on education, innovation, and long-term customer relationships rather than just machine specifications as competition in the construction equipment market continues to intensify.
