Doosan's lift truck history
Initially the domestic forklift marketplace in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a domestic equipment expansion venture. Sales of these goods were primarily targeted to state-run companies, large scale businesses, and the armed forces. This eventually led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun business operations throughout Korea to overhaul 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.
Expansion of Forklift Exports
Domestic lift truck trade for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an astounding 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980's, Daewoo's advanced technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a position of significant expansion of their forklift business.
In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative enterprise project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This plan greatly expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a contemporary plant which helped establish the business for the fabrication of high added-value goods suited for export. In 1993, the company had a international sales network and started exporting models 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 international marketplaces.
