Doosan's lift truck history

Korea's initial home-based lift truck marketplace 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 venture. Early product sales of this manufacturing equipment focused on large business groups, the armed forces and on state-run companies. This ultimately led to a merger 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 production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training became the new focus for improving quality and product development.

Development of Forklift Exports

Daewoo started the first home-based forklift business in 1967, and quickly acquired a massive 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's sophisticated technological improvements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of significant growth 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 radically expanded Daewoo's lift truck sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a contemporary plant which helped establish the company for the fabrication of high added-value products suited for export. In 1993, the company had a global sales system and started exporting designs they had established through in-house expertise, 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 opportunities into international markets.
