Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - The Crown company was founded in 1945 by two brothers, Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke. Carl's son and Chairman Emeritus, James F. Dicke, joined the family business later that same year. At this time, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to uphold this position.
Crown initially began with a small client base developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the production of rotators for antenna due the greater interest in televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the image and signal quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its manufacturing to incorporate the restoration of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. After several profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
With such adaptability and achievement, Crown was able to diversify its production to incorporate materials handling equipment. Crown started the manufacture of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown promptly fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its range of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the foreign material handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is now 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 market by purchasing an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown began their first London operation located close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent sellers.
Today, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric forklifts. The company's supplier network, based in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are responsible for handling the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Ohio and Munich, Germany offer national advertising and promotional sales support to all seller and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and supplier personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of intercontinental dealers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown consist of New Bremen, Ohio; New Knoxville, Ohio; Fort Loramie, Ohio; Celina, Ohio; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures internationally, producing lift trucks in Sydney, Australia ever 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 more than 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 dependable, safe and forward-thinking organization by contented customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and innovation. For instance, in the 1970's, Crown's launch 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, offering the operator with multiple comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capability.
