HD Hyundai and Manitou Expand Partnership to Strengthen Compact Construction Equipment Sales

2026-09-25

HD Hyundai Construction Equipment and Manitou Group are expanding their cooperation in the compact construction equipment market through a cross-selling agreement covering selected products under the HYUNDAI and DEVELON brands.

The partnership is aimed at expanding product availability and strengthening sales channels, particularly in urban construction and other applications where compact machinery is in high demand. By combining their existing product portfolios and distribution networks, the two companies aim to reach a broader customer base in international markets.

Compact excavators and other small construction machines play an important role in utility projects, landscaping, road maintenance, and construction sites with limited working space. Expanding product offerings through established dealer networks can give contractors and equipment rental companies access to a wider range of machinery.

The cooperation also reflects the growing importance of compact construction equipment in the global market, where versatility, maneuverability, and efficient equipment distribution remain key considerations for buyers.
