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 business 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 family to uphold this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientèle producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing interest in TV, Crown moved into the production of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve TV reception and image quality. The company's successful move allowed them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for television antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private industry. Following several lucrative bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such versatility and achievement, Crown was able to diversify its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown began the assembly of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the industry demanded a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown immediately produced an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its collection of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the international materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is currently a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by obtaining an Irish manufacturing plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns' (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 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.
Crown at the moment has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key worldwide marketplaces providing a huge fleet of electric forklifts. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Ohio and Munich, Germany offer nationwide advertising and promotional sales support to all dealer 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 offers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of international dealers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in almost 100 overseas 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 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 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, trustworthy and progressive company by satisfied consumers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and modernization. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling professionals. Today, this design has gained general 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 market original, providing the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled productivity capacity.
