A Legacy of Continuous Innovation
Daewoo (1975 – 2005)
Daewoo established itself as a dependable manufacturer of robust construction equipment that offered excellent value, durability and productivity. The brand quickly earned the confidence of contractors looking for reliable machines capable of handling demanding applications.
Doosan (2005 – 2023)
In 2005, Doosan acquired Daewoo’s construction equipment division, introducing significant investments in engineering, technology and product development.
The result was a new generation of Doosan excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks offering:
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Increased hydraulic performance
- Enhanced operator comfort
- Greater reliability
- Lower operating costs
- Advanced diagnostics and machine monitoring
The Doosan name became synonymous with dependable performance across mining, construction and infrastructure industries throughout Southern Africa.
Develon (2023 – Present)
In 2023, the global Doosan Construction Equipment brand was renamed Develon.
The name may be new, but the engineering heritage remains.
Today’s Develon equipment builds on decades of proven Doosan innovation while introducing even smarter technology, including:
- More fuel-efficient engines
- Advanced telematics
- Improved safety systems
- Greater machine productivity
- Enhanced operator comfort
- Lower total cost of ownership
The evolution from Doosan to Develon represents continuous improvement—not a change in the quality customers have trusted for years.
