Wallenius Wilhelmsen's Brunswick Facility Now Houses NACUP
Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s expanded Brunswick, Ga., port facility is now home to Develon and Hyundai Construction’s North American Customization Plant (NACUP), following its relocation from Savannah, Ga. The move to Brunswick enables the NACUP to grow by over 50%, expanding its production lines and parts storage to a total of 95,000 square feet. This facility is one of five new high and heavy equipment processing buildings at Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s Brunswick location. Situated on the south side of the Brunswick terminal, near Interstate-95, the customization plant is equipped to handle assembly, customization, fabrication, inspection, and painting of various excavators, wheel loaders, and other construction equipment. 'Our new customization plant in Brunswick will allow us to expedite our services for our dealers and our customers,' stated Chris Jeong, President and CEO at Develon. 'It’s a much larger facility than the previous customization plant, with dedicated space for our machines, and will better meet the custom needs of our dealers and our customers with an array of final assembly options.' Mike Rye, SVP High & Heavy Services Americas, added, 'NACUP represents new capabilities and services that were previously not available for equipment manufacturers anywhere in the Southeast. This new state-of-the-art facility complements our existing Brunswick marine terminal, as well as our ocean and inland transportation services.'
