DOOSAN Bobcat has announced that its vertically integrated subsidiary, ‘Mottrol’, which specialises in hydraulic components, is expected to relaunch as ‘Doosan Mottrol’.
Mottrol produces travel and swing motors, pumps, main control valves and other hydraulic components for construction equipment.
In response to equipment electrification, Mottrol has been developing ‘E-Drive’, a technology for inverters, and swing and travel devices that can electrically drive and control machines.
Doosan Bobcat stated on 15th October that its executives, including CEO and vice chairman Scott Park, visited Mottrol’s HQ in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. This marked Doosan Bobcat management’s first official visit since it completed the acquisition of Mottrol on the 4th.
The executives toured the production plant and Scott Park announced the new beginning at a town hall meeting attended by some 200 employees by declaring Mottrol’s name change to ‘Doosan Mottrol’.
At the town hall, Park stated, “I am truly delighted and proud to welcome the employees of Doosan Mottrol to the Doosan Bobcat family, whose world-class quality has been well proven through many years of partnership. We aim to double Doosan Mottrol’s sales in the next five years by achieving ‘win-win’ results and creating synergy.”
Doosan Bobcat acquired Doosan Mottrol to assure a ‘stable’ supply of core components and enhance product competitiveness through vertical integration.
Youngmin Kwon, president of Doosan Mottrol, commented, “We are happy to take the first step towards becoming a global leading company alongside Doosan Bobcat. We will strive to improve quality standards further and accelerate the development of new products.”
