Start-up of the forklift business

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 venture. Early sales of this industrial equipment focused on large business communities, 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 business operations throughout Korea to overhaul and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a lift truck manufacturing plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Growth of Lift Truck Exports

Home-based lift truck trade for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an astonishing 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980's, Daewoo's progressive technological advancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of considerable expansion of their lift truck operations.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative enterprise project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling market. This endeavor drastically expanded Daewoo's lift truck sales. Construction was finished in 1984 to facilitate a new plant which helped launch the company for the fabrication of high end added-value products suited for export. In 1993, the company had a global sales network and started exporting versions they had developed 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 markets.
