Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - The Crown company 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 company 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 today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Now an globally diversified company, Crown originally built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientele. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the production of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the picture and reception quality. The company's successful move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for television antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanical components for government and private industry. Following several successful bids within a short period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
Flexibility and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling market began with lift truck production. The company believed the market demanded a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown promptly fashioned an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company 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 center of operations and at present leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by purchasing an Irish manufacturing facility 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 stationed near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent dealers.
Crown at the moment has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in various key global marketplaces providing a huge fleet of electric lift trucks. They are responsible for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which offer promotional sales and national advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown dealers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and offers purchasing, advertising and marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of international dealers and Crown-owned sellers successfully operate in nearly 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 growing foreign markets, Crown has production facilities in Sydney, Australia (since 1966); Queretaro, Mexico (since 1973); Roding, Germany (since 1986); and Suzhou, China (since 2006).
