Develon Opens New Training, Testing and Education Facility in Tucson, Arizona

DEVELON has inaugurated a new training, testing, and education facility for construction equipment in Tucson, Arizona. The site, named the HD Construction Equipment (HDCE) Real Operation Centre (ROC), is located near Tucson International Airport and replaces the company’s previous facility. The new centre will serve as a strategic hub for training on advanced technologies, hands-on testing of DEVELON’s current and upcoming heavy and compact equipment, and hosting events for dealers and customers.

“For the past 15 years at our former facility, we hosted thousands of construction equipment owners, operators and dealer representatives for hands-on training, product testing and special events. The new facility will build upon its success and support our North American dealers. It will have acres of open operation area where visitors can come year-round to see and feel what makes DEVELON machines different from other brands.”

says Morgan Stallings, senior director of dealer development and marketing at DEVELON.

DEVELON broke ground on the new facility last October. While at the HDCE ROC, operators and sales teams will eventually be able to learn from experts in a classroom setting; a permanent building is planned for the site. As part of the planned building, there will also be service bays available for dealer training and maintenance purposes.

“The training facility plays a key role in what we do. It helps our sales team get hands-on equipment experience and gives us a place to test machines and gather real data. And it lets us bring in customers to see and demo DEVELON equipment in person, building stronger, long-standing relationships along the way.”

Says Armand Cencetti, vice president of sales at Best Line Equipment.

Visitors will get one-on-one time with DEVELON subject matter experts who will highlight key machine differences, describe key features and demonstrate cutting-edge innovations like the exclusive Transparent Bucket and around view monitor (AVM) camera system.
