VERY well done...a smart move!
And how many smaller companies are taking the same route.
72 jobs, too few for kalifornicator to be concerned about.
Unless you factor in the shipping and handling of the forklifts by outside trucking companies.
Toyota sells a lot of their forklifts. (we have 5 at work)
They’ve got to get there somehow.
Every job lost probably affects 10 others some where.
“Toyota MATERIAL HANDLING”
Ooops!...
Should have read a little better....
:(
Jerry Brown and his happy band of California socialists just continuing on down the road to turd world status!
Columbus, IN, home of Cummins Diesel.
May I add that Cummins Diesel (at least the leadership) is far-left liberal in their political views (not that it matters in the business community).
Aren’t cigarettes cheaper in Indiana? Besides the cost of doing business.
And we in Indiana send our thanks to the fine State of California. Keep ‘em coming! We have room for more!
Think of small town America and you have Columbus, Ind. 72 jobs will be appreciated and if Cal. wants to send another 7 or 72....send away!
People should know, “Toyota Material Handling” is 2/3 as big as their car manufacturing. That’s huge!
Yeah but you do it enough times and it adds up. California lost 259 companies we know of in 2011 and 204 in 2010
Could be. I wouldn’t know. Husband worked for them as a trainer back in the 60s.
a heavy structural manufacturing company is moving from oceanside CA to Reno Nevada, a friend of mine is trying to buy their 29k ft. building.
They have employees that have been with them for 30 years that are out of a job.
