Develon has officially opened its new Parts Distribution Centre (PDC) in Boom, Belgium, marking a major step in its strategy to enhance customer service and accelerate growth in the European market.
Develon CEO Seung-Hyun Oh, key customers, logistics partners, and other distinguished guests attended the inauguration ceremony for the new PDC.
CEO Seung-Hyun Oh said in his keynote speech: “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 establishing the first European-based operation in the UK in 1994, Develon has continued to build on this and expand its presence in the European market. The region now serves 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 24,000 m² 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 optimisation and increased speed of parts delivery, the Centre is expected to significantly enhance customer satisfaction and strengthen competitiveness for both Develon and its 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 CEO 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.”
With the launch of this new facility, Develon is set to further strengthen its customer support network and deliver even more innovative solutions to meet the needs of the dynamic European market.
