The Toyota Vision for North America's Supply Chains

Toyota Industries Corporation’s strategy is to become the number one logistics solutions provider in the world. As part of that strategy, Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) recognized that changing dynamics in global material handling markets relating to e-commerce, labor cost and productivity requirements, have created a permanent demand for new forms of logistics solutions. 

To align with market changes and customer needs, TICO created the Toyota Advanced Logistics Group to complement their Toyota Material Handling Group with advanced logistics services.

Specifically in North America, TICO created Toyota Advanced Logistics North America (TALNA) to manage activities in the area of advanced automated material handling systems integration and supply chain management solutions. TALNA commenced operations in 2017 and acquired Bastian Solutions as the first group company in the TALNA operative structure. 

All of TICO’s North American solutions providers interface with one another to ensure every option is considered in developing and delivering the most appropriate solution to our clients..
