TMHA celebrates back to
back international awards
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) is celebrating back to back victories after
receiving the highest honour at the recent Toyota Material Handling International (TMHI)
distributor awards for the second year running.
The TMHI President’s Award for overall
business excellence recognises TMHA as the
top distributor in sales and customer support
categories, taking into account equipment sales,
service and parts performance and overall
business productivity.
TMHA took the number one position ahead of
the 140 other countries that make up the TMHI
region.
TMHA executive vice president and COO Steve
Takacs accepted the award which was presented
in April by Toyota Industries Corporation
president Mr Mr Akita Onishi at the grand
ballroom of the Marriot Hotel in Nagoya, Japan.
Mr Takacs said it was almost unheard of to win
the prestigious President’s Award two years in
a row.
“Winning this award back to back recognises
the continued strength of the TMHA business
and is a fitting reward for the hard work put in by
everyone in our business operation,” Mr Takacs
said.
“Strong sales figures in 2016 helped us record
our eighth consecutive year as the number one
forklift brand in Australia, and the business overall
is really growing on the back of a 40 per cent
market share and a 750-strong team, including
450 service technicians, working out of our
national TMHA network of 17 branches.
“The award also recognises the introduction
of innovative new solutions to our established
product offering, like our range of elevated work
platforms and driverless forklifts launched last
year, and our expansion into providing racking
and storage solutions.
“It is another step on the path to our goal of
being a trusted total solutions supplier for all our
customers’ warehousing and material handling
needs,” Mr Takacs said.
