History – 1930 to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was first born is rural central American municipality known as New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The company has developed from a one-room outfit into an internationally prominent corporation, currently considered to be the 7th 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 company later 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 today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to maintain this position.
Now an internationally diversified company, Crown initially fabricated temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown’s center of operations currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public’s mounting fascination with television, Crown moved into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was used to enhance television reception and image quality. The company’s profitable move enabled 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.
Crown History -1950's 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 a number of profitable bids inside a brief period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such flexibility and success, Crown was able to diversify its production to incorporate material handling equipment. Crown started the manufacture of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown promptly produced an exceptional range of modern equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials 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 headquarters and at present leads Crown’s Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns’ (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation located 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 advertising and marketing forklifts across Europe through independent dealers.
