History - 1930 to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was started in the rural American community of New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The company has matured from a one-room outfit into an internationally recognized company, currently considered to be the 7th biggest lift truck manufacturer 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 present, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Crown in the beginning began with a small clientele developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing interest in TV, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was used to improve TV reception and image 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 worldwide need for television antenna rotators.
Crown History -1950's to 1975
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private market. After several profitable bids inside a brief period of time, the company had developed a reputable business in this field.
With such adaptability and success, Crown was able to expand its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown began production of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown quickly produced an exceptional range of progressive equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its collection of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and presently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by obtaining an Irish manufacturing facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed close by 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 and advertising lift trucks across Europe through autonomous sellers.
