Doosan's lift truck history

Korea's original home-based lift truck marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started to import assembled forklifts as part of a nationwide machinery expansion project. Early product sales of this industrial equipment focused on large business groups, the armed forces 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 overhaul 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 enhancing quality and product development.

Lift Truck Export Expansion

Home-based forklift business for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an amazing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980's, Daewoo's sophisticated technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of substantial growth of their lift truck operations.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a joint enterprise project to respond to competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This venture radically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped establish the business for the fabrication of high added-value products suitable for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales network and started exporting versions they had developed through in-house expertise, as an independent brand. 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.
