Doosan's lift truck history

Korea's initial home-based forklift marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started to import assembled lift trucks as part of a nationwide machinery expansion project. Early sales of this manufacturing equipment focused on large business communities, the armed services and on state-run firms. This eventually led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun trade operations throughout Korea to service and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a forklift manufacturing plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction became the new focus for improving quality and product development.

Lift Truck Export Expansion

Daewoo started the first domestic lift truck business in 1967, and rapidly gained a whopping 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's superior technological enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a position of significant expansion of their forklift business.

Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a cooperative venture project to assist them in the highly competitive North American materials handling market. This project proved highly lucrative for Daewoo and their lift truck sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company completed construction of a new facility to help in producing high end value-added products for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales network and started exporting versions they had developed through in-house expertise, as an independent 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 marketplaces.
