Develon and Atlas boost their material handler business with partnership agreement

Develon, formerly Doosan Construction Equipment, has signed a partnership agreement with Atlas GmbH, based in Ganderkesee in Germany, a leading manufacturer of cranes, wheeled, crawler and rail-road excavators, and of material handlers in various weight and performance categories.

Under this new partnership agreement, selected wheeled material handler models will be manufactured by Atlas to complement Develon’s existing range of material handlers. Each model will be fully integrated into the Develon lineup, embodying the brand’s identity and commitment to quality. Commercialization of the models will start in selected European markets and, in the future, expansion would be possible.

Jayden Lim, CEO at Develon Europe, stated: “At Develon, we are continuously developing our product range. The new partnership with Atlas will help us to build on the success we have had in material handling for the waste and recycling industry across Europe. We are delighted to be collaborating with a partner with the established experience and stature of Atlas.”

Brahim Stitou, CEO at Atlas GmbH, said: “Atlas and Develon have entered into this strategic partnership in order to jointly expand our market coverage and machine population in regions around the globe where we still can increase our presence. Both our companies focus on premium service, innovation, and our ultimate objective of making our customers happy. We already look forward to our future partnership and are confident that it will be beneficial for all of us.”

Overall, the new partnership will further Atlas’s and Develon’s expertise in the material handling sector, enhancing the companies’ abilities to deliver reliable and high-performance solutions tailored to demanding customer applications.
