Start-up of the forklift industry

Korea's original domestic forklift marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. begun to import assembled lift trucks as part of a nationwide equipment expansion project. Early sales of this industrial equipment focused on large business groups, the armed forces and on state-run companies. This eventually led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun trade operations throughout Korea to overhaul and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a forklift production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Expansion of Forklift Exports

Home-based forklift business for Daewoo started in 1967 and grew to an astounding 90% market share in Korea. By the 1980's, Daewoo's superior technological improvements combined with sales success placed them in a position of significant growth of their lift truck business.

In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative enterprise project to respond to competitive pressures in the US materials handling industry. This venture radically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped set up the company for the fabrication of high added-value goods suited for export. In 1993, the corporation had a global sales system and started exporting designs 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 growth opportunities into international marketplaces.
