Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - The Crown corporation 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 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 uphold this position.
Now an internationally diversified organization, Crown originally fabricated temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Berkeley, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture 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.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanical parts for government and private market. Following several successful bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such flexibility and achievement, Crown was able to expand its production to incorporate material handling equipment. Crown started production of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of superior quality forklifts. Crown immediately created an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its variety of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing teams. 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 marketplace by obtaining an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation situated close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift 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 independent sellers.
Crown today has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in various key global marketplaces providing a huge fleet of electric forklifts. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Berkeley, which provide promotional sales and national marketing support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown dealers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in nearly 100 foreign city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that consist of: New Knoxville; Celina, Berkeley; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Berkeley; and New Bremen, Berkeley. 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 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.
Through its numerous clientele on all sides of the world, Crown has built an outstanding reputation as a manufacturer of forward-thinking, safe and reliable machines. The company has been awarded more than 50 prominent design awards and the products that Crown develops continues to attain recognition for modernization and top design excellence. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling professionals. 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 first, offering the operator with multiple comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled productivity capability.
