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 lift trucks as part of a national machinery expansion project. Initial sales of this industrialized equipment focused on large business communities, the armed forces and on state-run companies. This eventually led to a unification with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division commenced 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.
Daewoo began the first home-based lift truck business in 1967, and quickly gained a massive 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 situation of considerable growth of their forklift operations.
In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative venture project to respond to competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This project radically expanded Daewoo’s forklift sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a new plant which helped establish the company for the fabrication of high end added-value products suitable for export. In 1993, the company had a international sales system and started exporting versions they had developed through in-house technology, 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 overseas marketplaces.
