Why Develon brought dozers to North America

Sept. 15, 2023

Develon's Jake Sherman explains the strategy behind its crawler dozers.

Develon introduced the DD100 crawler dozer to North America at Conexpo earlier this year, and now it has introduced a Develon Develon DD130 crawler dozer.

Entering an established dozer market is an interesting move for this ever-changing company. Senior editor Frank Raczon talked with Develon's product and dealer marketing manager Jake Sherman to find out why the company has chosen the dozer direction and what's unique about its product offerings.

Spoiler alert: Sherman says CTLs are next.
