TMHNA\u00a0has named the five senior executives who will lead the organization\u2019s next chapter, following the formal integration of Toyota Material Handling and The Raymond Corporation under the unified TMHNA name.<\/p><\/div>\n

Brett Wood will continue to serve as TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s President & CEO, in addition to his current role as Senior Executive Officer for TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s parent company, Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a historic day for our company, customers, dealers, and associates,\u201d Wood said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis milestone marks a significant step in TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s long-term strategy to enhance operational efficiency and innovation. Our vision is to continue to lead the material handling industry with solutions for our customers\u2019 evolving challenges. This integration gives us the opportunity to leverage the best people, processes, and products into one unified organization for the benefit of our customers.\u201d
\nThese enhancements will improve efficiency, expand production capacity, and reinforce the TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s commitment to kaizen \u2013 or continuous improvement. Alongside Wood, TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s senior leadership team includes:<\/p>\n

Michael Field, who served as President & CEO of The Raymond Corporation prior to the integration, will now be TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s Chief Operations Officer. Field, who has over 30 years of experience managing technology companies, will be responsible for engineering, aftermarket, energy storage solutions, automation, telematics, IT, strategic alliances, government affairs, and product planning for both the Toyota and Raymond brands.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy integrating our resources, we\u2019ll accelerate technology and product investments, bringing best-in-class solutions to market faster and driving growth through innovation,\u201d Field said. \u201cWe collaborate with our customers to deeply understand wants, needs, and business challenges to deliver solutions that solve real-world problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam Coles, a native of England, has been appointed as TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, where he will be responsible for sales, marketing, and pricing for both the Raymond and Toyota brands in North America. Coles has over 35 years of experience in the material handling industry with BT Industries and Toyota, and most recently spent four years as the President of Toyota Material Handling International (TMHI) in Sweden. Coles also previously spent seven years as the Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Toyota Material Handling Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my time with Toyota, I have traveled the world working with great people, and I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to join this team in North America,\u201d Coles said. \u201cThis integration will help us better serve and manage our customer relationships across brands and ensure that their needs always come first.<\/p>\n

Tony Miller becomes TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s Chief Supply Officer, transitioning out of his most recent role as Toyota Material Handling\u2019s Senior Vice President of Operations, Engineering & Strategic Planning. Miller, who has been with Toyota since 1996 and has over 25 years of experience in engineering and manufacturing, will oversee operations for all TMHNA<\/a> manufacturing plants, including manufacturing, production engineering, production control, procurement, quality, warranty, and Toyota Production System (TPS) development office.<\/p>\n

\u201cManufacturing excellence isn\u2019t just part of our history \u2013 it\u2019s the foundation of who we are,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a Japanese word \u2013 Monozukuri \u2013 that perfectly describes my aspiration for our team. Translated, it means \u2018manufacturing with pride, skill, and dedication in the pursuit of innovation and perfection\u2019. This will drive us to relentlessly focus on elevating our manufacturing excellence at every one of our plants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Taggart, who most recently served as TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s Chief Financial Officer and the President of Raylease, has been promoted to TMHNA<\/a> Chief Administration Officer. Taggart will lead TMHNA<\/a>\u2019s finance, human resources, and legal teams. After beginning his career with Toyota in 1996, Taggart played a key role in establishing Toyota Financial Savings Bank (TFSB) and has held multiple executive roles, including five years as the President & CEO of Toyota Industries Commercial Finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new TMHNA<\/a> vision is to be the most innovative, reliable, and trusted partner for material handling and logistics. And our new TMHNA<\/a> mission is to elevate our people, customers, and communities,\u201d Taggart said. \u201cEvery decision we make will be driven by helping our dealers and customers succeed and building sustainable success for decades to come.”<\/p>\n

This integration is rooted in growth, not consolidation. TMHNA<\/a> is committed to investing in its workforce \u2013 which includes over 16,000 associates \u2013 and facilities to drive innovation and better serve its customers. Recently, the company has invested $50 million in facility upgrades and advanced equipment at its plants in Greene, New York, and Muscatine, Iowa.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in 2024, Toyota announced the investment of nearly $100 million to build a new 295,000-square-foot factory at its North American headquarters in Columbus, Indiana. This state-of-the-art factory, set to open in 2026, will produce electric material handling equipment to help reduce product lead times, add manufacturing flexibility, and support the company\u2019s long-term sustainability goals.<\/p>\n

Today, one in three forklifts sold in North America is either a Toyota or Raymond product, a testament to the company\u2019s industry leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited about the people we have in place to lead our new organization,\u201d Wood said. \u201cAll four of these leaders are the very best at what they do, and they are driven by our foundational values of continuous improvement and respect for people. Most importantly, our entire Toyota team will always do what is best for our customers, dealers, and associates. I am confident that our incredible team will help elevate TMHNA<\/a> to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
