Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Part - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown company in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later that year. At present, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to continue this position.
Crown first began with a small clientele developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Peoria, where Crown's center of operations currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's rising interest in TV, Crown moved into the assembly of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance TV reception and picture quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its manufacturing to bring in the restoration of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following a number of lucrative bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
Versatility and achievement dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market started with forklift production. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional range of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its range of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional head office and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish production facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to build 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 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 lift trucks across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown these days has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in various key global marketplaces providing a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Peoria and Munich, Germany provide national marketing and promotional sales support to all supplier and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and dealer personnel are factory- trained in all 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 functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of international sellers and Crown-owned sellers successfully operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that consist of: New Knoxville; Celina, Peoria; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Peoria; and New Bremen, Peoria. 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 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 profitable reputation as a reliable, trustworthy and progressive company by satisfied customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design superiority and modernization. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling specialists. Today, this design has acquired widespread 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 first, offering the operator with several comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched output capability.
