It is also strong in after-sales services using its networks of sites located across Japan. Through this acquisition of shares, Toyota Industries will create synergy in sales and technology with IHI Logistics & Machinery as well as expand product lineup and enhance service capabilities to meet the logistics automation needs of customers. Further growth of both companies will be sought in the area of warehouse automation, which is expected to expand in market size in the future.

Toyota Industries will acquire 80% of the issued shares of IHI Logistics & Machinery held by IHI. Completion of this share acquisition is scheduled for April 1, 2027, after screening under the competition laws of the relevant countries.
