Stuttgart, Germany, March 24, 2026 – Toyota Automated Logistics EMEA/APAC (TAL) and AutoStore™, the global leader in intelligent fulfillment, today announce a strategic partnership to strengthen integrated automation offerings across global markets, with a more unified approach to serving customers in EMEA/APAC.

The partnership combines TAL’s newly established global warehouse automation organization, which brings together expertise in material flow, system integration and customer delivery, with AutoStore’s capabilities in intelligent fulfillment, combining automation, software, and AI across the fulfillment lifecycle.

Building on Toyota Automated Logistics Americas’ strong track record as a proven AutoStore partner with numerous successful joint projects and the long-standing collaboration with Toyota Material Handling Europe, the strengthened partnership positions both companies to deliver even greater value to customers worldwide.

Together, the companies deliver more integrated solutions across the fulfillment journey, helping customers improve efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance. They also strengthen their ability to support customers more consistently across regions, particularly in EMEA/APAC.

Thomas Hibinger, Chief Executive Officer at Toyota Automated Logistics EMEA/APAC, said:

“With the formation of Toyota Automated Logistics, we bring together strong capabilities into one global organization. Strengthening our partnership with AutoStore allows us to take a more unified approach to delivering integrated warehouse automation solutions and to support our customers more consistently across EMEA and APAC.”

Keith White, Chief Commercial Officer at AutoStore, said:

“We welcome the formation of Toyota Automated Logistics and the strengths it brings together. We value our collaboration and the opportunity to continue supporting customers with solutions that combine automation, software and AI, enabling Intelligent Fulfillment across operations”

As part of the partnership, AutoStore technology is integrated across TAL’s projects, supporting a consistent and scalable approach to automation.

The announcement reflects a shared ambition to shape the future of fulfillment, toward more intelligent and coordinated operations that adapt to changing conditions over time.
