Doosan's forklift history

In the beginning the home-based lift truck marketplace in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began in 1960, to import fully assembled lift trucks as part of a home-based equipment expansion project. Sales of these goods were originally targeted to state-run corporations, large scale organizations, and the armed forces. This ultimately led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun 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 Expansion

Domestic forklift trade for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an astonishing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980â??s, Daewooâ??s sophisticated technological improvements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of considerable growth of their lift truck operations.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative venture project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling industry. This endeavor radically expanded Daewooâ??s lift truck sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped set up the company for the manufacture of high end added-value products suited for export. In 1993, the corporation had a global sales network and started exporting versions they had established through in-house expertise, 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 opportunities into overseas marketplaces.
