Doosan's lift truck history

In the beginning the home-based lift truck marketplace in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a domestic equipment expansion venture. Product sales of these goods were initially targeted to state-run corporations, large scale corporations, and the armed forces. This eventually 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 forklift production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical education became the new focus for improving quality and product development.

Growth of Forklift Exports

Home-based forklift business for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an amazing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980's, Daewoo's progressive technological advancements combined with sales success placed them in a position of considerable expansion of their forklift operations.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a joint venture project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This project drastically expanded Daewoo's lift truck sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped establish the company for the fabrication of high end added-value goods suited 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 growth opportunities into overseas markets.
