What TOYOROBO does

TOYOROBO株式会社 is a Japanese logistics robotics integrator and consulting firm founded in October 2024 by Arai Mamoru, a former executive at HAI ROBOTICS JAPAN, GROUND, Tsubakimoto Kogyo, and Murata Machinery. The company targets logistics operators, manufacturers, and facility managers seeking automation of material handling, with a horizontal segmentation across AGVs, AMRs, case and pallet handling robots, autonomous cleaning robots, and linear conveyor systems. Core technical offering is multi-vendor integration — TOYOROBO serves as Japanese general distributor for several Chinese and Malaysian robot makers (Smart Loop, MagicStore Robotics, OUNITECH Robotics, BlueSword, HelloWorld Robotics) and operates the Fusion Stride Space showroom at Nomura Real Estate's Narashino Techrum Hub, where 10+ robot brands run on a unified RUCKUS One cloud network for hands-on customer demonstration.

Revenue is generated across four streams: (1) hardware resale of partner-manufactured robots (AGV, AMR, case/pallet handling, service robots), (2) system integration and consulting including logistics process standardization, (3) planned subscription WMS/WCS/WES software co-developed with SIG Service and targeted for general availability in H2 2026, and (4) recurring maintenance and after-sales service contracts. Pricing is custom-quoted per project under multi-year contracts. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales from a Tokyo headquarters, inside sales via website inquiries, a reservation-based physical showroom for bottom-funnel demonstrations, and event-driven demand generation across Japanese industry exhibitions (CeMAT Asia 2025, TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026, Asia Seamless Logistics Forum 2026). Distribution is single-country (Japan, Kanto region focus), though a February 2026 partnership with Malaysian-based HelloWorld Robotics signals early international intent. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, registered capital of 10 million yen, and a Tokyo construction license obtained in January 2026 enabling in-house system installation.
