Crown is a 10,000+ person manufacturer of forklifts and material handling equipment, now investing heavily in cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure), automation tooling (Kubernetes, Docker), and security architecture (WAF, CI/CD scanning). The support and sales hiring pipeline dominates (525 of 846 open roles), but engineering projects reveal a parallel push toward data analytics (InfoLink initiative), supply-chain automation, and security foundations—suggesting a shift from hardware-only toward integrated software and fleet management as a revenue driver.
