In the beginning the home-based forklift marketplace 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 equipment expansion venture. Product sales of these goods were primarily targeted to state-run companies, large scale corporations, and the military. This eventually led to a unification with Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd. In 1976, the Forklift Division begun business operations throughout Korea to overhaul and sell this heavy equipment. By 1978, a lift truck manufacturing plant was successfully completed. Continuous technical instruction grew to become the new focus for improving quality and product development.
Daewoo began the first home-based lift truck business in 1967, and rapidly gained 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 considerable expansion of their forklift business.
In 1981, Caterpillar Industrial Inc. of the United States, proposed a cooperative enterprise project to counter act competitive pressures in the US materials handling industry. This endeavor drastically expanded Daewoo's forklift sales. Construction was completed in 1984 to facilitate a modern plant which helped launch the company for the manufacture of high end added-value products suited for export. In 1993, the company had a global 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 expansion opportunities into overseas marketplaces.
