Start-up of the forklift industry
Korea's initial home-based lift truck marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started to import assembled lift trucks as part of a nationwide equipment expansion project. Early sales of this industrial equipment focused on large business communities, the armed services and on state-run corporations. This ultimately led to a unification with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun trade operations throughout Korea to service and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a lift truck production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training grew to become the new focus for improving quality and product development.
Expansion of Forklift Exports
Daewoo began the first domestic forklift business in 1967, and rapidly acquired a whopping 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's advanced technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of substantial expansion of their lift truck 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 venture radically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped launch the company for the manufacture of high end added-value products suitable for export. In 1993, the corporation had a global sales system and started exporting designs they had developed 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 expansion opportunities into overseas markets.
