Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown company in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later that year. Presently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Crown first began with a small client base producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing interest in TV, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was used to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for television antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private market. Following numerous profitable bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
Flexibility and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market started with forklift manufacturing. The company believed the industry needed a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown promptly fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its collection of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the foreign material handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is currently a regional headquarters for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, advertising and marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish manufacturing plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation situated close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown today has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key global marketplaces offering a huge fleet of electric lift trucks. They are responsible for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which provide promotional sales and national marketing support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in many disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and offers purchasing, marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of international sellers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in almost 100 foreign city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that consist of: New Knoxville; Celina, Ohio; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Ohio; and New Bremen, Ohio. Serving their expanding overseas markets, Crown has production facilities in Sydney, Australia (since 1966); Queretaro, Mexico (since 1973); Roding, Germany (since 1986); and Suzhou, China (since 2006). Crown also owns branch sales and service center operations in over 30 locations in the USA. International branch sales and service center operations include locations in Singapore, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Korea, Malaysia, England, Germany, Belgium and Australia.
Crown has earned a successful status as a consistent, trustworthy and progressive company by satisfied consumers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown products continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and innovation. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling experts. Today, this design has gained popular acceptance and earned a Design of the Decade award from the International Design Society of America. Once again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another industry original, providing the operator with several comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capacity.
