Start-up of the forklift industry

Initially the home-based forklift market in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. begun in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a home-based machinery expansion project. Sales of these goods were originally targeted to state-run corporations, large scale businesses, and the armed forces. 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 lift truck production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training became the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Lift Truck Export Growth

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

Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a joint venture project to help them in the highly competitive North American materials handling market. This joint-venture proved highly successful for Daewoo and their forklift product sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company completed construction of a new facility to help in producing high end value-added goods for export. In 1993, the corporation had a global sales network and started exporting versions 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 expansion possibilities into overseas marketplaces.
