Doosan's forklift history
Initially the domestic lift truck market in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a home-based machinery expansion venture. Product sales of these products were primarily targeted to state-run firms, large scale organizations, and the military. This ultimately led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division commenced business 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.
Expansion of Forklift Exports
Daewoo began the first domestic forklift business in 1967, and quickly acquired 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 situation of considerable growth of their forklift operations.
Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a joint venture project to help them in the highly competitive North American materials handling industry. This project proved highly successful for Daewoo and their lift truck sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company completed development of a new facility to help in manufacturing high end value-added products for export. In 1993, the corporation had a global sales system and started exporting versions they had established through in-house technology, as an sovereign product. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing expansion possibilities into international marketplaces.
