Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) keeps its leading position in the global market by ranking top of the list in materials handling as per the dhf Intralogistik and Logistik Journal.

Every year since 2001, the reputed dhf Intralogistik and Logistik Journal magazines place Toyota at the head of their world ranking. The sequence is based on the companies’ financial performance at the end of the fiscal year. The current publications refer to the period from 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2012.
  
Despite a rough economic climate marked by instability, Toyota has managed to keep its sales and profits at bay, and to stay in pole position. A considerable effort, since production had additionally been affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. These downturns and the current outcome prove that Toyota is a strong brand with a solid organisation behind it.

TICO has a clear goal ahead: to accelerate growth and put into practice its Vision 2020 initiatives. These include being of service in every aspect of customer relations and keeping its commitment to the highest level of safety, environmental sustainability, quality, cost and delivery standards.

“The fact that Toyota is number one in the world speaks for our quality products and commitment to Kaizen (continuous improvement), which we make to best service our customers everywhere. We focus on keeping our position as a reliable partner by reinforcing the dialogue and collaboration with partners and colleagues,” says Matthias Fischer, President at Toyota Material Handling Europe.

Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) manages the Group’s operations in Europe, the largest market for material handling. Active in more than 30 countries, it offers a full range of Toyota counterbalanced forklifts and BT warehouse equipment, as well as comprehensive services and solutions. A dynamic organisation with a strong leadership, TMHE has a considerable impact on the realisation of Vision 2020.
