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 on that year. At this time, 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.
Now an internationally diversified corporation, Crown first built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientèle. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the increased fascination with televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the picture and reception 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 global need for television antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its production to incorporate the restoration of mechanical and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous lucrative bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
With such adaptability and success, Crown was able to diversify its production to include material handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the industry demanded a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its range of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the international material handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is now a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production 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 started their first London operation situated nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was available 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.
Crown at present has a sizable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in various key global marketplaces offering a huge fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which provide promotional sales and nationwide marketing support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various 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 relations of intercontinental dealers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.
The 6 USA production 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, building forklifts in Sydney, Australia ever since 1966, Queretaro, Mexico since 1973, Roding, Germany since 1986 and Suzhou, China since 2006.
