History - 1930 to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was started in the rural American village of New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The business has matured from a one-room operation into a globally renowned company, currently considered to be the seventh largest forklift producer on the planet.
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 company 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 today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to maintain this position.
Crown initially started with a small client base 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, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing appeal of the television, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve television reception and picture quality. The company's profitable move enabled them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for television antenna rotators.
History - 1950 to 1975
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanized components for government and private market. After several successful bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
Flexibility and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry started with forklift manufacturing. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of first-class quality lift trucks. Crown immediately created an exceptional range of progressive equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its variety of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the international materials handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is now a regional head office for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish manufacturing plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to build PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing forklifts across Europe through independent dealers.
History - 1975 to Present
Crown today has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key international marketplaces providing a vast fleet of electric forklifts. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
