Dicke III, serves as the company President at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to maintain this position.
Crown initially began with a small clientèle producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown’s head office presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the image and reception quality. The company’s lucrative move enabled them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for television antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its manufacturing to incorporate the repair of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
Flexibility and success dominated Crown’s ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling industry started with forklift manufacturing. The organization believed the market required a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown quickly fashioned an exceptional range of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its variety of merchandise.

Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and presently leads Crown’s Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market by purchasing an Irish production facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns’ (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation situated near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown’s complete lift truck line was offered in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970’s, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent sellers.
Crown these days has a huge network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key international marketplaces delivering a huge fleet of electric forklifts. They are responsible for managing the company’s product sales and service.
