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 that same year. At present, 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.
Crown initially began with a small clientèle developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and reception quality. The company's lucrative move enabled them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its production to incorporate the repair of mechanized and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. After several profitable bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
With such adaptability and success, Crown was able to diversify its production to incorporate material handling equipment. Crown started the assembly of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the industry demanded a smaller line of superior quality forklifts. Crown quickly fashioned an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its variety of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas materials handling markets 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 market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by acquiring an Irish production facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was offered 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 autonomous dealers.
Crown at present has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key worldwide marketplaces offering a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.

Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in many disciplines to ensure 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.
