History - 1930 to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was first born is rural central American municipality called New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The company has developed from a one-room operation into a globally prominent corporation, currently considered to be the seventh biggest lift truck maker on the planet.
Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke established the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later on that 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 in the beginning started with a small client base developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the greater interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and reception quality. The company's profitable 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.
History - 1950 to 1975
Crown soon diversified its manufacturing to take in the restoration of mechanical and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following a number of lucrative bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
Flexibility and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling industry started with lift truck production. The organization believed the market required a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its assortment of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas material handling marketplaces 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 service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by purchasing an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was available 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.
