nvironmental stewardship has been a way of life at Crown for decades, and the
company intends to continue its multi-faceted approach to preserving the envi-
ronment for decades to come. Crown believes it is simply the right and responsible
thing to do for future generations.
Unlike other manufacturers that source most of their components, Crown manufactures most of the parts used in Crown’s lift trucks — up to 85 percent. Crown’s
vertically integrated, lean processes afford it complete control over design and
manufacturing. By making sustainability a top priority, this level of control helps the
company achieve a level of environmental compliance difficult for outsourcing manufacturers to maintain.
