Clark’s new headquarters in Flower Mound, Texas, 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 Dallas/Fort Worth 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 currently employs 36 associates, with plans to expand to 65 by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the U.S. factory in Lexington, Kentucky, will continue operations, supported by robust 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,“ says Chuck Moratz, President & CEO of Clark Global and Clark Material Handling Company.

“Bringing Clark’s global headquarters to the United States reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional products and services. This move strengthens our foundation as a global leader and ensures we remain close to the customers and markets that drive our success,” explains Seung Soo Baik, Chairman of Clark Global Headquarters. “We celebrate not just a building but a bold vision for Clark’s future. This headquarters exemplifies our mission to innovate and lead while staying rooted in the values that have made us a trusted name for over a century.”
