Crown History - 1930's to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was first born is rural central American municipality called New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The business has developed from a one-room outfit into a globally distinguished corporation, currently considered to be the seventh biggest forklift producer on the planet.
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 business later that same year. At this time, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to uphold this position.
Now an globally diversified company, Crown initially built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture and reception quality. The company's profitable move allowed them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for television antenna rotators.
History - 1950 to 1975
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and repair of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private market. After numerous successful bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
With such flexibility and achievement, Crown was able to expand its production to embrace material handling equipment. Crown began the assembly of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the market needed a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its range of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas materials handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at the moment a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. 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 purchasing an Irish manufacturing plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (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 comprehensive lift truck line was available 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 dealers.
