Initially the home-based forklift market in Korea was an open import enterprise. Korea Machinery Co. Ltd. started in 1960, to import fully assembled lift trucks as part of a home-based machinery expansion project. Product sales of these goods were primarily targeted to state-run firms, large scale organizations, and the military. This eventually led to a unification 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 lift truck production plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical training grew to become the new focus for enhancing quality and product development.
Daewoo began the first domestic lift truck business in 1967, and rapidly acquired a massive 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 position of substantial expansion of their forklift business.
Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the U.S. in 1981, proposed a joint venture project to help 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 completed development of a new facility to help in producing high end value-added products for export. In 1993, the company had a international 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 opportunities into international marketplaces.
