History - 1930 to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was born in the rural American community of New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The business has matured from a one-room outfit into an internationally recognized company, currently considered to be the seventh leading 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 on that same year. Currently, 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 continue this position.
Crown initially began 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 based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's center of operations currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's rising interest in television, Crown shifted into the production of antenna rotators. This product was used to improve TV reception and picture quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown History -1950's to 1975
Crown soon diversified its production to incorporate the repair of mechanized and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. After several successful bids within a short period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
Flexibility and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry started with lift truck manufacturing. The organization believed the industry needed a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its assortment 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 at present leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish manufacturing plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to construct 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 lift truck line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent sellers.
