At first the domestic lift truck market in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started in 1960, to import fully assembled forklifts as part of a domestic machinery expansion project. Sales of these goods were initially targeted to state-run firms, large scale businesses, and the military. This ultimately led to a merger 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 education grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.
Daewoo started the first domestic lift truck 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 growth of their lift truck business.
Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a joint venture project to assist them in the very competitive North American materials handling market. This project proved highly profitable for Daewoo and their lift truck product sales expanded greatly. In 1984, the company finished construction of a new facility to help in manufacturing high end value-added products for export. In 1993, the corporation had a global sales system and started exporting designs they had established through in-house expertise, 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 overseas marketplaces.
