Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke established the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company 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 today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Crown in the beginning started with a small client base producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's mounting fascination with TV, Crown moved into the assembly of antenna rotators. This product was used to enhance TV reception and image quality. The company's successful 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 TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its production to take in the repair of mechanical and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. After numerous profitable bids within a short period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
Adaptability and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling market started with lift truck production. The organization believed the industry demanded a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its variety of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas material handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is currently a regional headquarters for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by acquiring an Irish manufacturing facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing and advertising forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown today has a large network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key global marketplaces offering a huge 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 advertising and promotional sales support to all supplier and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and seller personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of international dealers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in nearly 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown consist of New Bremen, Ohio; New Knoxville, Ohio; Fort Loramie, Ohio; Celina, Ohio; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures internationally, making lift trucks 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 dependable, safe and forward-thinking company by happy consumers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and innovation. For instance, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling professionals. 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 original, offering the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled productivity capacity.
