DEVELON recently held the company’s European Dealer Conference in Valencia.
Under the theme of ONWARDS 2024, the event was the first European conference under the Develon name since rebranding from Doosan Construction Equipment last year. The company normally organises these meetings every two years and the last one was held in Barcelona in 2022.
The event attracted an audience of 161 attendees, 116 of which were personnel from Develon European dealers from 23 countries. They were joined by several members of the HD Hyundai Infracore executive team from Korea, as well as managers from various areas of the company.
Mr Seunghyun Oh, CEO of HD Hyundai Infracore, gave a keynote speech about Develon‘s ‘strong’ performance since rebranding. He spoke about the company’s achievements, new product and engine introductions, and the continuing expansion of the company facilities and dealer network in Europe.
Mr Oh also described the global market outlook and strategic direction of the company. He confirmed record high global production levels in 2023 for Develon excavators and wheel loaders and record high sales of mini-excavators in Europe.
A number of performance awards for dealers across Europe were presented. UK-based Kellands Plant Sales received an accolade for Top Compact Performer.
The conference was followed by a gala dinner, while the third day involved a regatta sailing event on the Valencian coast with 13 yachts taking part.
