Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Part - 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 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 these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family 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 items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Oakland, where Crown's head office presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the image and reception quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for television antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its manufacturing to bring in the repair of mechanized and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following a number of profitable bids within a short 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 materials handling market began with forklift production. The organization believed the market demanded a smaller line of first-class quality lift trucks. Crown quickly fashioned an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its collection of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and presently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish manufacturing plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to construct PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown began their first London operation located near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing and advertising lift trucks across Europe through independent dealers.
Nowadays, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric forklifts. The company's dealer network, located in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Oakland and Munich, Germany provide nationwide marketing and promotional sales support to all seller and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and seller personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and provides purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of global sellers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that include: New Knoxville; Celina, Oakland; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Oakland; and New Bremen, Oakland. Serving their growing foreign 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 include locations in Singapore, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Korea, Malaysia, England, Germany, Belgium and Australia.
Crown has earned a profitable reputation as a consistent, trustworthy and forward-thinking organization by happy customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and modernization. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling experts. Today, this design has gained widespread 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 original, providing the operator with several comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled productivity capability.
