Toyota Material Handling (TMH)<\/a> has completed the 750,000th forklift to roll off the line at the company\u2019s 1.5 million square-foot factory located in Columbus, Indiana.<\/p>\n

Toyota began its forklift manufacturing operations in North America in 1990, and by 2015, had produced 500,000 forklifts. TMH<\/a> has increased that number by 50 percent in just the last six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis milestone is a testament to the market\u2019s demand for the quality and reliability of Toyota forklifts, and our unwavering commitment to serving our customers,\u201d said Jeff Rufener, TMH<\/a> President and CEO. \u201cThis achievement was made possible by the tireless efforts of our world-class team of Toyota associates, dealers and suppliers. We look forward to continuing to find ways to meet our customers\u2019 evolving needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s production facility located in Columbus was the first plant to manufacture Toyota Forklifts outside of Japan. By 2002, Toyota Material Handling<\/a> had earned industry-leading status as the No. 1 forklift manufacturer in North America and maintains that leadership role today.<\/p>\n

The factory has the capability to manufacture a wide range of industrial equipment used in a variety of material handling environments including: 3-wheel and 4-wheel electric forklifts as well as internal combustion cushion tire and pneumatic tire lift trucks.<\/p>\n

Toyota began its forklift manufacturing operations in North America in 1990, and by 2015, had produced 500,000 forklifts. TMH has increased that number by 50 percent in just the last six years.<\/p><\/div>\n

TMH<\/a> has consistently invested in expansion opportunities to enhance its Columbus plant, which has grown into a 1.5 million square-foot facility \u2013 six times larger than when it opened in 1990. Those expansions allowed TMH<\/a> to produce its last 250,000 forklifts in only six years. It took 16 years to build the first 250,000 and nine years to produce the next 250,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last 31 years, we have become more vertically integrated so that we can respond to customer demands more quickly,\u201d said Tony Miller, TMH<\/a> Senior Vice President of Operations and Engineering. \u201cWe have also significantly expanded our product line to meet our customers\u2019 evolving needs. Our incredibly talented and dedicated team is committed to producing our next 250,000 units even faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The world-renowned Toyota Production System (TPS) and the waste-eliminating principles of Toyota Lean Management (TLM) have contributed to TMH<\/a>\u2019s ability to accelerate its operations during this period of unprecedented growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
