Crown Forklift Parts
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. Currently, 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.
Now an internationally diversified corporation, Crown originally designed temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientèle. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing interest in TV, Crown shifted into the making of antenna rotators. This product was used to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's lucrative move enabled them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and restoration of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private market. After several lucrative bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
Adaptability and achievement dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling industry started with lift truck manufacturing. The company believed the industry required a smaller line of first-class quality lift trucks. Crown quickly produced an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its assortment of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional head office and presently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish production facility 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 started their first London operation located near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was offered in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing forklifts across Europe through independent sellers.
Today, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric forklifts. The company's supplier network, stationed in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.
