The CLARK brand returns to its proud American roots by bringing the Global Headquarters to Dallas, Texas after two decades abroad.
DALLAS, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 2025 / CLARK Material Handling, a pioneer and leader in the material handling industry, proudly announces the grand opening of its Global Headquarters in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. This milestone marks the official return of CLARK's headquarters to the United States, solidifying the company's status as an iconic American brand and positioning it for global growth in the decades to come.
CLARK's new headquarters in Flower Mound, TX, a facility owned by CLARK, is designed to foster collaboration and serve as a central hub for CLARK's continued innovations in forklift technology and material handling solutions. The 56,972 square foot building features a Product Showroom, Forklift Experience center, CLARK History Hall, Dealer Sales & Service Training Classes, Warehousing & Distribution center, as well as the Global Administrative offices. This state-of-the-art facility is a testament to CLARK's enduring commitment to its customers, employees, and dealer network.
The location was strategically selected for its proximity to the DFW International Airport, providing convenient access for global partners. In March 2022, a temporary global office was established while plans for a permanent facility took shape. Following a yearlong construction process, the new headquarters officially opened in November 2024. The facility employs 36 associates, with plans to expand to 65 by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the U.S. factory in Lexington, KY, will continue operations, supported by Research & Development, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams.
"This grand opening is not just the culmination of years of planning and hard work; it is the beginning of a new era for CLARK. By returning our headquarters to the United States, we honor our legacy while confidently building the future of the material handling industry."
Chuck Moratz, President & CEO of CLARK Material Handling

We celebrate not just a building but a bold vision for CLARK's future. This headquarters exemplifies our mission to innovate and lead, all while staying rooted in the values that have made us a trusted name for over a century.

Honorary Chairman S.H. Baik was in attendance to offer his congratulations.
"Since 2003, I envisioned a future where we would one day return our global headquarters to America, the birthplace of the forklift. This new facility is the realization of that vision - a commitment to our heritage, our people, and our continued growth. I am proud to see CLARK take this significant step forward, strengthening our ability to serve customers worldwide while honoring our legacy of innovation and excellence."
