Crown History - 1930's to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was first born is rural central American town known as New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The business has matured from a one-room outfit into an internationally prominent corporation, currently considered to be the seventh biggest forklift maker on the planet.
Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke established the Crown company in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later on that year. Presently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientele producing 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 headquarters presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing appeal of the TV, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and picture 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 need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown History -1950's to 1975
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private market. After a number of successful bids inside a brief period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
Adaptability and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling market started with lift truck production. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown quickly fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its assortment of products.
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 and advertising teams. 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 markets by buying up an Irish production facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to make PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was available 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 independent sellers.
