Korea’s original home-based lift truck market was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960’s, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began to import assembled forklifts as part of a national machinery expansion project. Initial sales of this manufacturing 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 commenced trade operations throughout Korea to overhaul and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a forklift production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction became the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.
Home-based forklift business for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an astonishing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980’s, Daewoo’s sophisticated technological improvements combined with sales success placed them in a position of significant expansion of their lift truck business.
In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative enterprise project to respond to competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This endeavor radically expanded Daewoo’s forklift sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a contemporary plant which helped set up the company for the fabrication of high end added-value products suitable for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales network and started exporting designs they had established through in-house technology, as an sovereign brand. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing expansion possibilities into international markets.
