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 business later on that same year. Presently, 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 family to continue this position.
Crown first started 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 stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing fascination with television, Crown shifted into the production of antenna rotators. This product was used to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's profitable move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for television antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its production to take in the restoration of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. After several lucrative bids inside a brief period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
Versatility and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry started with lift truck manufacturing. The company believed the market required a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown quickly produced an exceptional range of modern equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its collection of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas material handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at the moment a regional head office for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by acquiring an Irish manufacturing 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 began their first London operation located nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing and advertising forklifts across Europe through independent dealers.
These days, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's supplier network, stationed in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
