Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke formed the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later on that year. At present, 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 descendants to maintain 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 based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the production of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the image and signal quality. The company's profitable move allowed them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for television antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and repair of electronic and mechanical parts for government and private industry. Following several profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
With such adaptability and success, Crown was able to expand its production to embrace materials handling equipment. Crown started the manufacture of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the market required a smaller line of first-class quality lift trucks. Crown promptly created an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its collection of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas material handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is currently a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, advertising and marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by acquiring 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 started their first London operation situated close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was available 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.
Crown today has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key worldwide marketplaces providing a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are responsible for handling the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Ohio and Munich, Germany provide national marketing and promotional sales support to all supplier and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and supplier personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned dealers 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 manufacturing 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 more than 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.
Through its numerous clientèle on all sides of the world, Crown has built an excellent reputation as a producer of forward-thinking, safe and dependable machines. The company has been awarded more than 50 distinguished design awards and the products that Crown develops continues to attain recognition for modernization and top design excellence. To provide an example, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling experts. Today, this design has acquired popular acceptance and earned a Design of the Decade award from the International Design Society of America. Again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another industry first, offering the operator with multiple comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled output capability.
