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 present, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to continue this position.
Crown initially 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 based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the greater interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and reception quality. The company's profitable move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand 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 industry. Following numerous profitable bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
Adaptability and achievement dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry began with forklift manufacturing. The company believed the market required a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown quickly produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its collection of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and at present leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets 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 started their first London operation situated 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 independent sellers.
Crown at the moment has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in various key international marketplaces offering a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which offer promotional sales and national marketing support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous disciplines to guarantee 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 global sellers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas 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 growing foreign 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.
Crown has earned a successful status as a consistent, trustworthy and forward-thinking company by fulfilled consumers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and modernization. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling experts. Today, this design has gained general 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 market first, providing the operator with many comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled output capability.
