Crown Forklift Parts
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 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 Head at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to maintain this position.
Crown first started with a small clientèle developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's rising appeal of the TV, Crown shifted into the production of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's lucrative move enabled them to become a leading maker 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 mechanical components for government and private market. After numerous successful bids within a short period of time, the company had developed a reputable business in this field.
Adaptability and success dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market started with lift truck manufacturing. The organization believed the market demanded a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown quickly created an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its range of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the foreign material handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is now a regional head office for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by purchasing an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was offered 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.
These days, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's supplier network, located in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Ohio and Munich, Germany offer nationwide advertising and promotional sales support to all dealer 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 provides purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of global dealers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in nearly 100 foreign city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that include: 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 consist of locations in Singapore, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Korea, Malaysia, England, Germany, Belgium and Australia.
Crown has earned a profitable status as a reliable, safe and progressive organization by contented clients worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown products continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and innovation. To provide an 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 gained 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 multiple comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled output capacity.
