Start-up of the forklift business In the late 1960s,Korea's domestic forklift market was an open- import type market,when the Korea Machinery Co.,Ltd.began to import assembled forklifts as part of a national industrial machinery expansion project.Sales of this initial equipment focused on state-run corporations,large business groups,and A,., the armed forces.This led to a merger into Daewoo Heavy Industries Ltd.in 1976,and the Forklift Division opened business outlets throughout Korea to sell and service this equipment.In 1978,a forklift production plant was completed,and efforts were focused on developing products and improving quality through continuous technical training. [top] Expansion of forklift exports Operating as Daewoo,domestic forklift business,began in 1967 and grew to 90%market share in Korea.
