Doosan's lift truck history

Initially the domestic lift truck marketplace in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a home-based equipment expansion project. Sales of these products were initially targeted to state-run firms, large scale businesses, and the military. This eventually 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 production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training became the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Forklift Export Growth

Daewoo began the first domestic forklift business in 1967, and quickly gained a massive 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's superior technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of substantial expansion of their forklift operations.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a joint venture project to respond to competitive pressures in the US materials handling industry. This plan drastically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a new plant which helped establish the business for the fabrication of high end added-value goods suitable for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales system and started exporting models they had established through in-house technology, as an sovereign product. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing growth possibilities into international markets.
