Develon open new parts distribution centre in Belgium
New parts facility set to strengthen customer-centric services and accelerate growth in European market
DEVELON, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, have officially opened their new Parts Distribution Centre (PDC) in Boom, Belgium, marking a major step in their strategy to enhance customer service and accelerate growth in the European market. The inauguration ceremony for the new PDC was attended by Develon chief executive officer Seung-Hyun Oh, key customers, logistics partners, and other distinguished guests.
In his keynote speech, Mr Oh said: ‘The opening of our Belgium PDC represents a critical first step in our customer- and market-oriented strategy. It is a strategic investment to deliver faster, more stable, and more responsive services for our valued European customers.’
Since the establishment of the first Europe-based operation in the UK in 1994, Develon have continued to build on this and expand their presence in the European market, with the region now serving as a vital hub for technological innovation and sustainable growth. The company previously operated a PDC in Germany, which played a key role in improving its on-time delivery rate and logistics efficiency.
With a storage area of 24,000m2 and an inventory of 47,000 stock units, the new Belgium PDC is designed to bring services closer to customers and to allow Develon to respond more swiftly to diverse and evolving demands in the European construction equipment market. With improved supply chain optimization and increased speed of parts delivery, the centre is expected to significantly enhance customer satisfaction and strengthen competitiveness for both Develon and their clients.
The Belgium facility will be operated in partnership with Fiege, a leading logistics provider with a long-standing relationship with the Develon range. Leveraging Fiege’s deep expertise and innovative logistics solutions, the new PDC aims to deliver exceptional service quality and reinforce customer loyalty across the continent.
In line with Develon’s commitment to sustainability, the Belgium PDC was built with energy-efficient infrastructure and incorporates low-carbon operational practices. This reflects the company’s broader mission to pursue growth while fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities.
‘This achievement is the result of the hard work and dedication of our employees and partners,’ said Mr Oh. ‘We deeply appreciate the trust and support of our European customers, and we will continue to build a better future together based on mutual trust and innovation.’
