Start-up of the forklift industry
Korea's original domestic forklift marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started to import assembled forklifts as part of a national equipment expansion project. Initial sales of this manufacturing equipment focused on large business groups, the armed services and on state-run corporations. This eventually led to a unification with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division commenced business operations throughout Korea to service and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a forklift manufacturing plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical education grew to become the new focus for improving quality and product development.
Lift Truck Export Growth
Daewoo started the first domestic forklift business in 1967, and rapidly gained a massive 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's sophisticated technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of significant expansion 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 profitable for Daewoo and their lift truck product sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company completed construction of a new facility to help in producing high end value-added goods for export. In 1993, the company had a global sales system and started exporting versions they had established through in-house expertise, as an sovereign brand. 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.
