Crown History - 1930's to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was born in the rural American neighborhood of New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The business has matured from a one-room operation into an internationally recognized corporation, currently considered to be the seventh biggest forklift maker on the planet.
Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown company in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later that year. At present, 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 family to uphold this position.
Now an internationally diversified organization, Crown originally created temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the making of rotators for antenna due the increased interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and reception quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for TV antenna rotators.
History - 1950 to 1975
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized components for government and private market. Following several successful bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a highly regarded business in this field.
With such flexibility and success, Crown was able to expand its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the market needed a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown immediately created an exceptional range of modern equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its variety of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and at present leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid production 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 assemble PTH hand pallet trucks. Later 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 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 autonomous dealers.
Crown History - 1975 to Current Day
