Doosan's lift truck history
Korea's initial domestic 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 nationwide equipment expansion venture. Initial sales of this industrialized equipment focused on large business groups, the armed services and on state-run corporations. 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 training became the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.
Expansion of Lift Truck Exports
Domestic lift truck business for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an astonishing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980's, Daewoo's superior technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a position of significant expansion of their forklift operations.
Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a cooperative venture project to help them in the very competitive North American materials handling market. This project proved highly lucrative for Daewoo and their forklift sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company completed development of a new facility to help in manufacturing high end value-added goods for export. In 1993, the company had a global sales network and started exporting models 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.
