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 company later on 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 today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Now an internationally diversified company, Crown first manufactured temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientèle. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's rising fascination with TV, Crown shifted into the assembly of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve television reception and image quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its manufacturing to bring in the repair of mechanical and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous lucrative bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
With such adaptability and achievement, Crown was able to expand its production to embrace material handling equipment. Crown started the assembly of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the market required a smaller line of first-class quality lift trucks. Crown immediately produced an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its variety of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material 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 advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong production operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish production facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to build PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation located nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive 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 autonomous sellers.
Currently, 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.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which offer promotional sales and national advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various 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 global sellers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in almost 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 globally, making 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 consistent, trustworthy and progressive organization by satisfied customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design superiority and modernization. For instance, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling professionals. 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 market first, providing the operator with multiple comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capacity.
