Crown Forklift Part
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 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 at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to uphold this position.
Now an internationally diversified corporation, Crown originally manufactured temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Oxnard, 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 proficient at improving the image and signal quality. The company's profitable move enabled them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its manufacturing to take in the repair of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous lucrative bids within a short period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
With such versatility and achievement, Crown was able to diversify its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown started the assembly of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the market required 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 range of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at this time a regional headquarters for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong production operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish production plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to build PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was available 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 sellers.
Currently, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's dealer network, based in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Oxnard, which offer promotional sales and nationwide marketing support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown dealers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that consist of: New Knoxville; Celina, Oxnard; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Oxnard; and New Bremen, Oxnard. Serving their expanding overseas 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 successful status as a consistent, trustworthy and forward-thinking organization by happy customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished 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 launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling specialists. Today, this design has acquired general 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, providing the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capability.
