Doosan's forklift history

At first the home-based forklift market in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. begun in 1960, to import fully assembled lift trucks as part of a home-based equipment expansion venture. Sales of these products were originally targeted to state-run companies, large scale corporations, and the armed forces. This ultimately led to a unification with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun business operations throughout Korea to overhaul 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.

Development of Forklift Exports

Daewoo began the first domestic lift truck business in 1967, and rapidly acquired a whopping 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's advanced technological advancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of considerable expansion of their lift truck 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 venture drastically expanded Daewoo's lift truck sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped establish the business for the manufacture of high added-value products suitable for export. In 1993, the company had a international sales system and started exporting designs they had developed 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 expansion possibilities into overseas marketplaces.
