Doosan's forklift history

Korea's initial domestic lift truck marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. begun to import assembled forklifts as part of a national machinery expansion project. Initial product sales of this manufacturing equipment focused on large business communities, the armed forces and on state-run firms. This ultimately led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division commenced trade operations throughout Korea to service and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a lift truck manufacturing plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Growth of Forklift Exports

Daewoo began the first home-based lift truck business in 1967, and quickly acquired a whopping 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's progressive technological improvements combined with sales success placed them in a position of considerable growth of their forklift operations.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative venture project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling industry. This plan radically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a new plant which helped establish the business for the fabrication of high end added-value products suited for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales system and started exporting designs they had established through in-house expertise, as an sovereign product. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing growth possibilities into international marketplaces.
