Doosan's forklift history

Korea’s initial home-based forklift market 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 manufacturing equipment focused on large business groups, the armed services and on state-run corporations. This eventually 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 lift truck production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training became the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Expansion of Lift Truck Exports

Domestic lift truck business for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an amazing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980’s, Daewoo’s progressive technological improvements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of significant growth of their lift truck business.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a joint enterprise project to counter act 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 launch the company for the fabrication of high added-value goods suited for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales network 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 expansion possibilities into overseas marketplaces.
