HD Hyundai will merge its two construction equipment affiliates to form a new company, tentatively named HD Construction Equipment, effective January 1, 2026.
The merger will combine HD Hyundai Construction Equipment and HD Hyundai Infracore, which manufacture and market the Hyundai and DEVELON brands of construction equipment. The two companies currently operate independently in North America through separate dealer networks. The independent brand and dealer network structure will remain in place.
“This merger gives the Hyundai and DEVELON brands the full backing of a powerful global company that expects to exceed $11 billion in sales by 2030,” said Stan Park, CEO of HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
WH Kim, CEO of DEVELON North America, added, “While this merger creates a more powerful global entity, we are committed to ensuring stability and continuity for our dealers and customers in North America.”
Park echoed that sentiment for Hyundai dealers and customers.

The new entity also plans to expand aftermarket services.
