Now an globally diversified company, Crown first built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientele. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Austin, where Crown's head office presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time.
