History - 1930 to 1950
Crown Equipment Corporation was born in the rural American community of New Bremen, Ohio, USA. The company has matured from a one-room outfit into a globally recognized organization, currently considered to be the seventh largest forklift producer on the planet.
Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke established the Crown corporation 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 President at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to uphold this position.
Crown first started with a small clientele developing 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.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the production of rotators for antenna due the increased interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture and reception quality. The company's lucrative move enabled them to become a leading maker 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 repair of electronic and mechanical parts for government and private market. After several successful bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
Adaptability and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling industry began with lift truck manufacturing. The organization believed the market needed a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks.

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.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish production facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation located nearby 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 independent sellers.
