SCHNEIDER Electric has contracted Toyota Material Handling (TMH) as a key supplier for its manufacturing and distribution centres around Australia.
Toyota will supply and maintain more than 170 Toyota, BT and Raymond brand forklifts, reach trucks, stock pickers, and walkie stackers under the agreement.
Schneider Electric’s growth in Australia was underscored in 2003 by its acquisition of Clipsal, the number one brand of electrical accessories in Australia and Asia.
The company’s national responsibilities for same or next day FIS delivery of electrical products throughout Australia expanded to cover more than 3500 locations as a result of the acquisition.
After a 12 month research and evaluation program, followed by a competitive tendering process, Toyota Material Handling was awarded a national contract to supply its Toyota, BT, and Raymond equipment.
“We were looking for a supplier with access to the latest technology and with the resources to supply and service us nationally across all material handling equipment types, and one that was prepared to be flexible to meet our changing needs,” Ross Carter said.
TMH has worked with the company to audit the requirements of each of its sites. It is now using that information to progressively roll-out the equipment.
