Doosan's lift truck history

Korea's initial domestic lift truck marketplace was an open-import enterprise. In the 1960's, Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began to import assembled forklifts as part of a nationwide machinery expansion venture. Early product sales of this industrialized equipment focused on large business communities, the armed forces and on state-run firms. This eventually led to a merger 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 forklift production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training became the new focus for improving quality and product development.

Development of Lift Truck Exports

Daewoo started the first domestic forklift business in 1967, and rapidly acquired a whopping 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's sophisticated technological advancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of significant expansion of their lift truck 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 industry. This endeavor drastically expanded Daewoo's lift truck sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a contemporary plant which helped set up the business for the fabrication of high added-value goods suitable for export. In 1993, the company had a global sales network and started exporting models they had developed through in-house technology, as an independent product. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing expansion possibilities into international markets.
