Doosan's forklift history

Korea's initial 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 national machinery expansion project. Early sales of this industrialized equipment focused on large business groups, the armed forces and on state-run firms. 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 lift truck production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Growth of Lift Truck Exports

Daewoo started 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 superior 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 cooperative venture project to respond to competitive pressures in the US materials handling industry. This venture drastically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped set up the company for the manufacture of high end added-value goods suitable for export. In 1993, the company had a international sales network and started exporting designs they had developed 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 opportunities into international marketplaces.
