Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later on that year. Currently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to continue this position.
Now an internationally diversified organization, Crown first created temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and signal quality. The company's successful move allowed 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 manufacturing and repair of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private market. Following a number of lucrative bids within a brief period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
Flexibility and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling industry began with lift truck production. The organization believed the market required a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown promptly produced an exceptional range of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its range of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish production plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to make PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation situated near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing and advertising forklifts across Europe through independent sellers.
These days, Crown manufactures an enormous fleet of electric forklifts. The company's vendor network, stationed in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Ohio and Munich, Germany provide national advertising and promotional sales support to all dealer and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and dealer personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and offers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of global sellers and Crown-owned sellers successfully operate in almost 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown include New Bremen, Ohio; New Knoxville, Ohio; Fort Loramie, Ohio; Celina, Ohio; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures globally, making lift trucks 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 profitable reputation as a dependable, safe and forward-thinking company by contented customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design superiority and modernization. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling professionals. Today, this design has acquired widespread 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 market original, providing the operator with many comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled productivity capability.
