Crown in the beginning started with a small clientele developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, San Diego, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing appeal of the television, Crown shifted into the making of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance TV reception and picture quality. The company's successful move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its manufacturing to bring in the repair of mechanical and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following several profitable bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such adaptability and achievement, Crown was able to expand its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the market demanded a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown promptly produced an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its assortment of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the foreign material handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at the moment a regional headquarters for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation located nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Currently, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric forklifts. The company's dealer network, based in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
