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 maintain this position.
Now an globally diversified corporation, 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, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the increased interest in televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the picture and signal quality. The company's lucrative 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.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and restoration of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private market. After numerous lucrative bids within a short period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
With such versatility and success, Crown was able to expand its production to incorporate materials handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of superior quality forklifts. Crown quickly produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its collection of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid production operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish production facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to assemble PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed close by 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 advertising and marketing forklifts across Europe through independent sellers.
Crown these days has a large network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key international markets offering a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which offer promotional sales and nationwide advertising support to all of their dealers 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 functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of intercontinental dealers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that include: 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 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.
Crown has earned a profitable status as a dependable, trustworthy and progressive organization by happy consumers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and modernization. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling specialists. Today, this design has acquired common 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 many comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled productivity capability.
