The sources for this are routine notices about opening of new location and acquisitions,, plus a few press releases. Not notable, presumably with promotional intent.  DGG ( talk ) 04:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - This appears to be an establishing article, providing the business history and is most likely not fully defined. They appear to have developed several technologies and products that improve upon the material handling industry. The recent acquisition and growth would indicate this business is a leader in this space. Additional time would be needed to provide examples of notable application development within the material handling industry.Theegreatpumpkin (talk) 17:32, 1 February 2018 (UTC) — Theegreatpumpkin (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep Thanks, I found these 2 articles from WSJ for another story. Updating the article also. I want to say that this company is one of the giants in the automotive industry with a great history that played a vital part in the industry. Well, you guys know better I guess, I'll find more information.

 * Delete per nomination and WP:NCOMPANY - I don't see anything substantial online about the company in WP:RS, just lots of press releases and puff mentions in industry magazines. It's worth a paragraph at its parent company's article Toyota Industries Corporation, but not the lengthy history given here, so proposing to delete rather than merge.

 * Comment After adding from WSJ 9wall street journal) I added 4 (links below) more references from Inc Magazine and CrunchBase and Times. Please suggest thanks. I want to say that if you look at scholar articles we have many but I am not sure how to cite them. Anyway, this company is recognized worldwide in the automotive sector and mentioned almost in all independent relable sources. Waiting for more suggestions.

 * Delete Agree with nom, references fail to meet the criteria for establishing notability and are not intellectually independent, references fail WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 14:36, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
