Start-up of the forklift business

Korea’s original home-based lift truck marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960’s, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started to import assembled forklifts as part of a national machinery expansion venture. Early product sales of this manufacturing equipment focused on large business communities, the armed forces and on state-run corporations. This eventually led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun trade operations throughout Korea to overhaul and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a lift truck production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction became the new focus for improving quality and product development.

Growth of Forklift Exports

Daewoo started the first home-based forklift business in 1967, and quickly gained a massive 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980’s, Daewoo’s advanced technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a position of considerable growth of their forklift business.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative venture project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This project drastically expanded Daewoo’s forklift sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a contemporary plant which helped set up the business for the manufacture of high end added-value products suitable for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales system and started exporting versions they had established through in-house technology, as an independent product. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing growth possibilities into overseas markets.
