Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke formed the Crown business in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later 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 continue this position.
Crown in the beginning 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 stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's rising appeal of the TV, Crown shifted into the making of antenna rotators. This product was used to improve TV reception and picture quality. The company's successful move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private industry. Following a number of successful bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
Versatility and achievement dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling industry started with lift truck manufacturing. The company believed the market required a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its collection of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the foreign materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is now a regional head office for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish production facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation situated near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was offered in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Nowadays, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric forklifts. The company's vendor network, located in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Ohio and Munich, Germany offer nationwide marketing and promotional sales support to all dealer and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and dealer 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 functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of global dealers and Crown-owned sellers successfully operate in nearly 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 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 include 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 reliable machines. The company has been awarded more than 50 distinguished design awards and the products that Crown develops continues to attain credit for modernization and top design excellence. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling specialists. Today, this design has acquired 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 first, providing the operator with many comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capability.
