Crown Equipment Corporation<\/a> has completed an expansion project that doubled the size of the company\u2019s electronics assembly plant. Employees at the New Bremen, Ohio, facility manufacture and assemble the circuit boards and control modules used globally in the majority of Crown forklifts.<\/p>\n

The 30,000 square-foot addition includes a mixture of office space and assembly equipment, including an existing surface mount assembly line. The electronics assembled in the facility include the control module that provides the interface for Crown<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0InfoLink\u00a0wireless fleet and operator management system<\/a>, which is integrated into the forklift and enables fleet managers to wirelessly stay connected to their fleet and operators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work we do in this electronics assembly plant is among the best examples of Crown\u2019s vertically integrated manufacturing strategy,\u201d said Dave Besser, senior vice president of manufacturing, Crown Equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis approach allows us to develop and continually improve standardized manufacturing processes globally while maintaining our focus on quality and advanced technology. As our vision for a connected forklift becomes a reality, this expansion allows us to integrate more advanced on-board technology to help our customers make more informed decisions that improve warehouse productivity and manufacturing operations, as well as reduce costs without compromising operator safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crown<\/a> designs and manufactures the majority of the components used in its award-winning forklifts, including electric motors, drive units, masts, power units, electronic modules, wire harnesses, forks, seats and more.<\/p>\n
