"Every 7 minutes there is a forklift off the line, 2023 annual output of 20,000 units, the new plant after all up to the annual output can reach 110,000 units, is expected to reach 6 billion yuan annual output value." In the new plant of Toyota Automatic Loom Group Taili Fu Forklift truck Jiaozhou, located in Jiaoxi Street, Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province, the machine is roaring, said Shi Zhengfeng, director of operations management center of Taili Fu Machinery and Equipment (Qingdao) Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Taili Fu Company").

It is understood that in 1997, Taili Fu Company came to Shandong to invest, through nearly 30 years of development, from a small factory with an annual output of several hundred forklifts into a large factory with an annual output of 20,000 forklifts. In 2020, Taili Fu Company was acquired by Toyota Group, with the increase of orders, the company's original plant has been unable to meet the production demand, Taili Fu Company began to build a new plant.

"The construction of a new plant, the first is the location, we sorted out the list of new plant needs, for the whole Shandong began to site." Speaking of the new plant site selection process, Shi Zhengfeng said, "Although the local investment departments have shown great sincerity, but only Jiaozhou City at the beginning of the site selection combined with the business development and industrial chain supply chain needs of Taiwan Lifu, gave a package of services including site selection, supporting, transportation, domestic workers, taxes, logistics and other services, more detailed than the list we sorted out."

"After the site selection of the enterprise, we set up a special project service class at the first time, and held joint meetings with the enterprise to promote the project many times to solve the pain points and difficulties." Jiaozhou Development and reform Bureau key project construction section chief Ge Tienan said. Under the joint efforts of the departments of water conservancy, power supply, communication, public transportation and Jiaoxi Street, before the construction of the project started, the project water supply, power supply and communication pipelines were laid, the public transportation lines were opened, and the road hardening and other infrastructure supporting facilities were completed, providing a guarantee for the project.

The change before the start of construction was astonishing, and the speed after it was just as remarkable.

"Our new factory, from construction to completion and production, only took less than a year, during this period, all the approval procedures are the service team to help us do, only 1 month to complete the land, planning, construction, construction of 4 documents, this alone saved at least 3 months of time." Talking about the construction of the new plant, Shi Zhengfeng gave a thumbs up to the considerate service of the Jiaozhou government.

"Considering that the distance between the former plant and the new plant is far away, in accordance with the demand of the industrial chain supply chain, combined with the development characteristics of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, we have attracted industrial supporting enterprises such as Qingdao Hemulin Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. to land around, and promote the growth of the industry with chain development." Jiaxi street economic and trade office head Li Ping said.

Without worries, Taili Fu company has increased product research and development, combined with the current development trend of new energy, launched a new energy lithium battery forklift, and the product has attracted market attention once launched. Shi Zhengfeng introduced, "This lithium battery forklift is an oil to electricity model on the basis of the original model, after the change, not only the price is reduced by 40% compared with the previous, the performance is also improved, which is sought after by overseas customers." In 2023, the export volume of the company increased by 300% compared to 2022, and the export profit accounted for 50% of the entire company."

With the completion of the new plant and the popularity of orders, Taili Fu Company has become the largest forklift vehicle production project in Shandong Province, and has also become the most important place of production for Toyota Group's economic forklifts.

"In the next step, we will continue to promote the construction of Phase II and Phase III projects of Taili Fu Company, continue to attract relevant industrial chain and supply chain enterprises to locate in the nearest place, at the same time, relying on the advantages of the Shanghai Cooperation Demonstration Zone for the platform of the SCO countries, actively assist enterprises to expand the market of the SCO countries, and help enterprises to seize the global market."
