Crown History - 1930's 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 distinguished company, currently considered to be the seventh leading lift truck maker 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 business later on that same year. At this time, 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 maintain this position.
Now an globally diversified organization, Crown initially fabricated temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientele. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing interest in television, Crown shifted into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve TV reception and image quality. The company's profitable move allowed them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
History - 1950 to 1975
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and restoration of electronic and mechanized components for government and private market. After numerous successful bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such flexibility and achievement, Crown was able to diversify its production to incorporate materials handling equipment. Crown started the assembly of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown immediately created an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its variety of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by obtaining an Irish production 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 started their first London operation located close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was offered in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown History - 1975 to Current Day
