Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Part - 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. Currently, 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 family to maintain this position.
Now an internationally diversified organization, Crown initially built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientele. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Antioch, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's mounting fascination with television, Crown moved into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve TV reception and image 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 TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private market. Following a number of lucrative bids within a short period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
Versatility and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market began with forklift production. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its variety of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and presently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, 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 manufacturing facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to assemble PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation situated close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was offered 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.
Crown today has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key international markets providing a vast fleet of electric forklifts. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Antioch, which provide promotional sales and national marketing support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous 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 sellers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that include: New Knoxville; Celina, Antioch; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Antioch; and New Bremen, Antioch. 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 more than 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 reputation as a reliable, trustworthy and forward-thinking organization by satisfied customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and innovation. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling professionals. Today, this design has gained common 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 original, offering the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled productivity capacity.
