Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later that year. At present, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to uphold this position.
Now an internationally diversified organization, Crown first created temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientèle. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing appeal of the television, Crown shifted into the production of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve TV reception and picture quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanical components for government and private industry. After several successful bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
Versatility and success dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling market started with lift truck production. The company believed the market demanded a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown promptly created an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its assortment of products.
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 industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish manufacturing plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to construct PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown began their first London operation located close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck 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.
Crown at present has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key worldwide markets 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 offer nationwide advertising 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 delivers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of global dealers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in almost 100 foreign 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 expanding 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 more than 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 successful reputation as a reliable, safe and forward-thinking organization by contented clients worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown products continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and modernization. To provide an example, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling specialists. 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 market first, offering the operator with several comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled output capability.
