This expansion marks another milestone in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a>\u2019s growth as a company and its longstanding partnership with the state of Indiana, and highlights the organization\u2019s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and solving customer problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited about this significant strategic expansion to our Columbus campus,\u201d said Tony Miller, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling<\/a> Senior Vice President of Engineering, Operations &amp; Strategic Planning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a>, we will always be driven by what is best for our customers. Electric products are more popular than ever, and we are committed to doing whatever it takes to keep up with increased demand. This new factory will allow us to deliver those electric units to customers faster than we can today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project will allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling<\/a> to add 85 new jobs by the start of production in June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndiana has made it a strategic priority to cultivate the economy of the future, and we continue to see the impact of our work thanks to the partnership of great companies like Toyota,\u201d said Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb, who attended the groundbreaking event on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a> continuing to invest heavily in southern Indiana. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a>\u2019s been a cherished partner and career cultivator to the State for the last 35 years, and we look forward to strengthening our bond even more in the decades to come in and around the Columbus region. Today\u2019s remarkable announcement shows yet again just how important our state\u2019s business-friendly environment \u2013 focus on long-term success and access to a skilled workforce \u2013 is to companies seeking to expand and grow far into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decision to invest an additional $100 million in a new factory underscores <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling<\/a>&#8216;s dedication to advancing sustainable technologies and meeting the evolving needs of its customers. The facility will allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a> to leverage cutting-edge manufacturing processes to produce electric products much more quickly than it can today, while meeting the high standard of quality customers expect from Toyota.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElectric forklifts make up 65% of the North American market and this trend towards electrification in the material handling industry will continue to grow,\u201d said Brett Wood, President &amp; CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling North America<\/a> and Senior Executive Officer for Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this announcement shows our industry-leading dealer network and our customers that we are a proactive company, not a reactive one. We do not just plan for next week or next year \u2013 we\u2019re preparing for the next decade, and this new initiative perfectly represents our commitment to that strategy. This investment is one of the largest in our history and signifies TICO\u2019s commitment to the North American market, the state of Indiana, the city of Columbus, and most importantly, our dealers and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is far from the first time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling<\/a> has reinvested in its North American headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Since first establishing its presence in Columbus in 1990, Toyota has been a cornerstone of the local community and an integral part of Indiana\u2019s manufacturing landscape. At the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling<\/a> was split into two separate companies.<\/p>\n<p>The sales and marketing arm of the company \u2013 formerly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota Material Handling U.S.A. (TMHU)<\/a> \u2013 was headquartered in Irvine, California, from 2002 until 2012, when it relocated to Columbus as part of a $4.6M expansion.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a> completed a $16M expansion to add more than 50,000 square feet to its facility, including a two-story office building, a new cafeteria, \u00a0storm shelter, and locker rooms.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the company opened a state-of-the-art wellness center \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a> Recreational Complex (T+Rex) \u2013 to provide its employees with more easily accessible health and wellness opportunities right on the Toyota campus. The 35,000-square-foot facility features two basketball courts, an indoor track, an exercise room, a recreation room, and more. The T+Rex facility offers all of the amenities of a modern fitness center including a yoga room, free weights, treadmills, and other fitness equipment. It also includes a medical center to provide primary health care, wellness coaching, physical therapy, and a pharmacy at no cost to Toyota associates and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Later in 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a> invested another $17.5M to add more than 150,000 square feet to improve internal and external logistics at the facility by consolidating external warehouses to internal storage and distribution on site. The same year, the company also invested $7.3M to acquire the neighboring property and expand its footprint by 200,000 square feet. The acquisition allowed the company to relocate and renovate its aftermarket parts distribution center to provide customers with the parts they need more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Including the newest project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/toyota-material-handling-u-s\/\">Toyota<\/a> has completed more than 15 total expansions in 34 years, with over $400M in total investments. When the new factory is complete, Toyota\u2019s Columbus footprint will grow to nearly 1.8M square feet \u2013 more than six times larger than the 280,000 square-foot facility it opened in 1990.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13217\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13217\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor.avif 1280w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-768x600.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-384x300.avif 384w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-294x230.avif 294w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-440x344.avif 440w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-493x385.avif 493w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-416x325.avif 416w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Groundbreaking-Group-Photo-with-the-Governor-486x380.avif 486w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toyota Material Handling held a groundbreaking ceremony for a nearly $100M expansion project in Columbus, Indiana.
