Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) is the founding entity of the Toyota Group and a global market leader in materials handling equipment and automotive air-conditioning compressors. Operating across logistics solutions, automotive components (engines, vehicle assembly, and power electronics), and textile machinery, the company generated 4,084.9 billion yen in net sales in FY2025.

In early 2024, an independent investigation uncovered systemic emissions certification cheating on diesel and gasoline engines, prompting regulatory factory raids, mandatory shipment suspensions, and severe reputational damage. Furthermore, persistent cross-shareholdings with Toyota Motor Corporation and group affiliates have drawn ongoing activist and institutional scrutiny regarding capital allocation efficiency.
