Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Part - 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 present, 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 continue this position.
Now an globally diversified corporation, Crown initially manufactured 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, Amarillo, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the construction of rotators for antenna due the increased interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture and reception quality. The company's profitable move enabled them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and repair of electronic and mechanized components for government and private market. Following numerous lucrative bids within a brief period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
Versatility and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market started with lift truck production. The organization believed the industry demanded a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown promptly produced an exceptional range of modern equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its variety of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is currently a regional headquarters for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, advertising and marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong production operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish manufacturing facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to construct PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed nearby 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 and advertising forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown these days has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key worldwide markets providing a huge fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Amarillo and Munich, Germany offer nationwide advertising and promotional sales support to all dealer and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and seller personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, advertising and marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of global dealers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that include: New Knoxville; Celina, Amarillo; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Amarillo; and New Bremen, Amarillo. Serving their expanding overseas markets, Crown has production 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.
Through its numerous clientele around the world, Crown has built an outstanding reputation as a manufacturer of progressive, safe and dependable machines. The company has been awarded more than 50 prominent design awards and the products that Crown develops continues to attain recognition for modernization and top design excellence. For instance, 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. Again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another industry original, providing the operator with many comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capacity.
