The inauguration of Clark\u2019s new global headquarters in Flower Mound, Texas, marks a pivotal moment in the company\u2019s history \u2014 a symbolic return to its American roots and a strategic move to support long-term global growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owned and operated by Clark, the state-of-the-art 56,972 square foot facility is designed as a collaborative innovation hub, advancing the company\u2019s legacy in forklift technology and material handling solutions. Key features include a Product Showroom, Forklift Experience Center, Clark History Hall, Dealer Sales & Service Training spaces, a Warehousing & Distribution center, and the Global Administrative offices \u2014 all under one roof, demonstrating Clark\u2019s ongoing commitment to customers, employees, and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site was strategically chosen for its proximity to Dallas\/Fort Worth International Airport, ensuring seamless global connectivity. After establishing a temporary global office in March 2022, construction of the permanent headquarters began and concluded in November 2024. Currently employing 36 staff members, Clark expects to grow to 65 employees by year\u2019s end. Meanwhile, the company\u2019s U.S. manufacturing facility in Lexington, Kentucky, remains fully operational, continuing to house key departments such as R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis grand opening is more than the realization of a long-held vision \u2014 it\u2019s the beginning of a new era,\u201d says Chuck Moratz, President & CEO of Clark Global and Clark Material Handling Company. \u201cBy returning to the U.S., we\u2019re honoring our legacy while shaping the future of the material handling industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seung Soo Baik, Chairman of Clark Global Headquarters, adds, \u201cRelocating our global headquarters to the U.S. reinforces our promise to deliver excellence while staying connected to our customers. This move sets the stage for Clark\u2019s continued leadership and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark welcomed dealers, partners, and local community members to celebrate the grand opening. Among the honored guests was Sung Hak Baik, Honorary Chairman of YoungAn, who shared:
\u201cSince 2003, I have envisioned Clark\u2019s return to America \u2014 the birthplace of the forklift. This new facility brings that vision to life, celebrating our heritage while enabling future growth and global impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
