TCM Corp could become the first Japan-affiliated company to establish a forklift distribution centre in Russia.

According to Japanese News Digest, the forklift manufacturer is considering building a distribution centre in Russia in fiscal 2008/09 ending March 2009.

TCM currently has sales representatives in four Russian regions - Moscow, St Petersburg, Vladivostok and Kazan. Forklifts and spare parts are currently imported from Japan. A distribution centre could cut lead times to meet growing forklift demand.

Atsushige Ishiki, the company's president, says TCM has a 6% share of the Russian forklift market which is growing more than 20% annually.
