COMPANY BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
The owner and driving force of the company was Mr. Lennart Avnby a Danish citizen with a strong background within the Crane and Hoist industry. His first experience was to be a partner with his father in law.
In 1952 had established SKB Company in Denmark based on the conclusion that the Crane and Hoist industry did not produce lifting devices that the market was asking for. The company soon proved to be successful especially after the invention of the radial piston pump for mobile cranes.
The name of his father in law was "Arne Kristensen" an icon within the crane industry.
In 1970 the financial crisis hit the Danish construction market and the partners agreed that Mr. Avnby moved to Sweden.
In 1976 had established a company STC with focus on the production of heavy load trailers and larger capacity cranes and the two companies worked jointly and exchanged products.
In 1985 STC started to export crane to Thailand.
In 1991 Due to the prospects of the negative development in the Swedish market Lennart decided to move his production to Thailand and established STC Company (SCAN-THAI CRANE CO., LTD.) and it was situated near Bangkok. The new company was overwhelmingly successful producing truck loader cranes, wreckers and truck boom cranes for the local market.
In 1997 the Thai economy burst. Lennart decided to focus on the export markets in Asia and move his production to Chonburi province and at same time he changed the name of the company to "HERKULES CRANE CO., LTD."
In 2002 Herkules Crane Co., LTD specializes in designing and producing high performance off-shore cranes initially intended for the Asian market. Herkules Crane has provided tailor made off shore cranes for Unocal Thailand which now operates in the Gulf of Thailand.
