Start-up of the forklift industry

Originally the home-based forklift marketplace in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a home-based machinery expansion project. Product sales of these products were originally targeted to state-run corporations, large scale businesses, and the armed forces. This eventually led to a unification with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division commenced trade operations throughout Korea to overhaul and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a forklift production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.

Development of Lift Truck Exports

Daewoo started the first home-based lift truck business in 1967, and rapidly gained a massive 90% share in the Korean Materials Handling market. By the 1980's, Daewoo's advanced technological advancements combined with sales success placed them in a situation of considerable expansion of their forklift business.

Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a cooperative venture project to assist them in the highly competitive North American materials handling market. This joint-venture proved highly lucrative for Daewoo and their forklift sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company finished development of a new facility to help in manufacturing high end value-added products for export. In 1993, the corporation had a international sales network and started exporting models they had developed through in-house technology, as an sovereign brand. Certifications were then acquired from CE of Europe, UL of the United States and ISO 14001 and ISO 9001, securing growth opportunities into international markets.
