Q & A with Hiroshi Narukawa: Australia is “increasingly important”

News Story - 05 May 2005
ADELAIDE, Australia

Japanese industrial forklift manufacturer TCM has identified the Australian marine, transport and container handling industry as one of its key growth markets and plans to introduce new products in Australia to boost its local market share. TCM's regional manager for Asia Pacific Hiroshi Narukawa has just visited his company's Australian national distributor, NTP Forklifts Australia. Here is an excerpt of an interview with Narukawa. Q: Where does Australia rank in your organisation? A: Australia is an increasingly important market for TCM. Our association with Australia goes back 40 years, to 1965, when we became the first Japanese materials handling company to enter the country. Our initial focus was on Victoria and Queensland, with Japanese trading house Kanematsu responsible for selling and servicing the products. We've come a long way in the last five years since teaming up with national distributor NTP Forklifts Australia. Q: To what do you ascribe your Australian success? A: It's threefold; our strategy, our products and the standing of our Australian partner. When developing our strategy, we were realistic enough to concede that most of the metropolitan markets were accounted for, with limited opportunity to win business and grow market share. But Australia's a big country, with many important - and certainly back then, under-serviced - regional centres. We agreed our initial focus would be on those markets and it has certainly been a strategically sound decision. Despite our growing share of the metropolitan market, TCM enjoys great success in regional Australia. A major plus is that we manufacture only materials handling and earthmoving equipment. We understand the needs of the market. We offer perhaps the most expansive product range - currently 118 models - in the industry and we are forever fine-tuning and improving our offerings. And NTP Forklifts Australia has provided the level of customer service that translates into customer satisfaction and repeat business.
