CHANGE 06 Section 02 TOYOTA TSUSHO IN PROFILE TOYOTA TSUSHO IN PROFILE Profile Toyota Tsusho Corporation was established in 1948 as Nisshin Tsusho Kaisha, Ltd. and was renamed Toyoda Tsusho Kaisha, Ltd. in 1956. Thereafter, the Company listed its shares on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1977. In 1985, the Tokyo Branch was upgraded to the Tokyo Head Office. Together with the Nagoya Head Office, this gave the Company a dual head-office structure that continues to this day. The current Toyota Tsusho Corporation was formed through mergers with Kasho Company, Ltd. in 2000 and Tomen Corporation in 2006. More than 60 years have passed since Toyota Tsusho’s establishment. During this period, we have contributed to society while gaining experience and knowledge. Toyota Tsusho will continue to bring together the strengths of its frontline business locations and human resources to make an even greater contribution to society going forward.

Accordingly, the Toyota Tsusho Group’s performance in the second to fourth quarters improved in terms of both net sales and earnings, but this was unable to compensate for the large drop in its first-quarter performance. Consequently, overall net sales and operating income for FY 2009 both declined for the second consecutive fiscal year. However, in line with our FY 2009 management policy “Offense” and “Defense,” we invested more than ¥80 billion, primarily in non-automotive fields, and steadily sowed the seeds of future growth. Through rigorous measures to reduce costs and increase business efficiency, we cut costs by more than ¥10 billion, allowing us to shift to a leaner earnings structure. In FY 2010, the global economy remains uncertain, due to the fiscal crisis in Europe, the winding down of economic stimulus measures in various countries around the world etc. Meanwhile, society remains at a major turning point. Recent developments include the increasingly large presence taken on by emerging countries in the global economy and a sudden surge in steps to create a sustainable society. The Toyota Tsusho Group adopted “Think,” “Challenge” and “Change” as the keywords of its management policy for FY 2010. By thinking about the changes in the world ahead while working as one to embrace challenges and drive further evolution, we will approach this turning point as a prime opportunity, rather than as an obstacle. In closing, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of our stakeholders for their warm support and understanding of the Toyota Tsusho Group’s corporate philosophy, business values and growth strategies. I look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.

  • 50Th Anniversary of Toyota Corolla
    Press Release Brussels, 14 September 2016 50th anniversary of Toyota Corolla • Corolla is the world’s best-selling model • More than 44 million units have been sold in 150 countries • 50 years on, Corolla remains true to the model’s original DNA 2016 marks another great milestone for the Toyota Corolla, as the world’s most popular car celebrates its 50th anniversary. The first Toyota Corolla was introduced to Japan in 1966. Available in two distinct body styles (two- and four-door saloon, and two-door estate), the Corolla was designed to be a “people’s car”, nevertheless it displayed superior build quality and was lavishly equipped with features that were normally only seen on higher segments. It featured a floor-mounted gear lever that was remarkable at the time. Separate bucket-type seats provided firmly padded front occupant support, while the rear bench offered so much space and comfort that it was likened to a living room sofa. Although the car was classed as a compact vehicle, its elevated roof height made the interior feel exceptionally roomy. Originating from the Latin term for ‘crown of flowers’, the name “Corolla” was chosen in the hope that the vehicle would bloom in the automotive market. And that’s exactly what it did: within three years the first generation Corolla became the top-selling vehicle in Japan, and sales quickly spread to other countries around the world. In‑depth analysis and the incorporation of customer feedback have been integral to the development of each new generation of Corolla. As a result, Toyota has built on the philosophy behind the creation of the first Corolla -a car of superior quality, durability and reliability (QDR)- with a determination to exceed customer expectations in every key area highlighted by their feedback.

  • Automobile Assembly Parts Market
    Introduction Throughout the era of high economic growth, the Japanese automobile parts industry grew consistently. However, the collapse of the bubble economy saw the industry enter a downturn, and with competition in the automobile industry intensifying worldwide, it now finds itself confronting a period of great upheaval. The transition engulfing the automobile parts manufacturing industry can be characterized as follows: • Production volumes in the parts manufacturing industry are declining as domestic demand for automobiles decreases. • Demands for price reductions are growing stronger. • As automobile manufacturers expand their overseas manufacturing operations, they demand that parts manufacturers have an overseas presence. • As automobile manufacturers seek to optimize their supply chains, they more readily conduct business with companies that do not belong to their conglomerates. • Environmentally friendly technology is supported. • Modularization is supported. • Competition is intensifying as foreign parts manufacturers enter the Japanese market. In this changing business environment, the differences between Japanese parts manufacturers are being magnified. With companies increasingly willing to do business outside their conglomerates, foreign parts manufacturers are coming in and stirring up the Japanese market, and even eclipsing their Japanese counterparts. At the same time, Japanese parts manufacturers are being forced to take on their foreign competitors, and are increasingly undertaking mergers with a view to forming companies that can supply integral systems. Hence, it is likely that the on-going shake-up in the automobile parts industry will continue. This report does not cover all automobile parts, but specifically focuses on assembly parts for new automobiles. It covers the present structure of the market, relevant laws and regulations, and changes in business practices, as well as discussing prospects for the future.
