Toyota Material Handling Europe is the Official Partner for material handling equipment at the Olympic & Paralympic Games Paris 2024. Working in collaboration with Toyota Motor the promise is to ensure seamless, effortless, and flexible mobility for all, including both people and goods. A key objective is to ensure that Toyota's activities at the event support the carbon emission target of the Paris 2024 Games. Our aim is to deliver mobility to the Olympic & Paralympic Games in the same way that we deliver for our customers, and the way we deliver for you and other consumers worldwide.
Let’s take a moment to pay tribute to the sung and unsung heroes of the logistics industry, mostly ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Our We deliver for you campaign captures the magic behind the scenes of the intralogistics world and provides an insight into the future of material handling. You call the shots, we make it happen.
Ice cream in the summer, hot soup in the winter. Warm coats in autumn, freshly picked flowers in springtime. Our daily shopping requirements change from season to season, month to month, and from day to day – and the logistics industry must keep up.
Some changes are predictable, driven by climate and consumer habits, but other factors can also have a big impact, such as fashion trends and product innovations. The key to success for retailers is to ensure they have enough supplies to meet consumer demand – but not so much as to risk holding stock that might become obsolete. Out-of-date or out-of-demand stock is bad news, representing waste and cost, and goes against the sustainability goals of society.
The logistics industry plays a vital role in managing continuously changing demands. Traceability is one of the keys to success, ensuring that businesses know exactly what goods they have and where they are located, as well as knowing what they have in the pipeline.
Combine this information with real-time sales data and lead time information and you have the foundation to meet ever-changing consumer expectations.
We are a major player in the European logistics industry, and working with customers and forward-thinking partner companies we come up with new ways to manage stock levels, making use of different technologies including robotic stock scanners and drones. Over many decades, Toyota Material Handling has established a reputation for ‘lean thinking’ based on working systems that eliminate waste – it’s a strong foundation for the work we do in the logistics industry.
The good news for you as a consumer is that the logistic industry is managing stock levels and supply chains, enabling you to decide how every day is different, letting you call the shots.
Since 2015 Toyota has been the Worldwide Mobility partner of the Olympic & Paralympic Games. In 2024 the games move to Paris where we, for the first time, are the official partner for material handling equipment. This fits perfectly with our company purpose to ‘Move the world towards easy and sustainable’ - given Paris 2024's carbon emission target.
From October 2022, all employees in the company are invited to join Toyota’s ‘Start Your Impossible’ programme, with the aim to make a difference for themselves, their colleagues and society at large.
