Initially the domestic forklift market in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. began in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a domestic machinery expansion project. Product sales of these products were primarily targeted to state-run firms, large scale corporations, and the armed forces. This eventually led to a merger with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division commenced business operations throughout Korea to service and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a forklift manufacturing plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training grew to become the new focus for improving quality and product development.
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 enhancements combined with sales success placed them in a position of substantial expansion of their lift truck operations.
Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a cooperative venture project to assist them in the very competitive North American materials handling market. This joint-venture proved highly lucrative for Daewoo and their forklift sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company completed development of a new facility to help in producing high end value-added goods for export. In 1993, the company had a international sales system and started exporting models they had established through in-house expertise, 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 possibilities into overseas markets.
