Toyota MHA is Number 1 again
TICO is the parent company of Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA), Australia's leading supplier of forklift trucks, under the Toyota Industrial Equipment range, as well as the BT Lift Truck and Raymond Forklift ranges of warehouse equipment.
Respected German material handling magazines Logistik Journal and dnf Intralogistik have named TICO the global number one for the 12 months to 31 March, 2012, based on sale of materials, which amounted to _5.173 billion (approximately $AUS6.7 billion). This is a 24 per cent increase on the 2010-11 result.
TICO was the only supplier on the list to cross the five billion Euro threshold, once again establishing itself as the worldwide market leader and further increasing its lead over its nearest placed rival.
TMHA Executive Vice President and COO Steve Takacs said Toyota's success in material handling was due to constantly meeting customer expectations.
"TICO has a clear goal ahead: to accelerate growth and put into practice its Vision 2020 initiatives," he said.
"These include being of service in every aspect of customer relations and keeping its commitment to the highest level of safety, environment sustainability, quality, cost and delivery standards.
"It also speaks volumes about Toyota's efficient manufacturing systems and ability to deliver market-leading equipment with a high level of after-sales support."
In Australia, Toyota has led the counter-balance forklift market continuously for 26 years.
TMHA distributes the Toyota Industrial Equipment range of material handling equipment alongside the BT Lift Truck and Raymond Forklift ranges of warehouse equipment.
