Total Industries, formerly known as Toyota Material Handling Northern California (TMHNC), is a well-established family-owned business that has been a key player in the material handling and power solutions sector since 1997. Founded by Rich Andres, a Marine veteran who recognized the importance of self-sufficiency after returning from Vietnam, the company started as an entry-level utility coordination and has grown significantly over the years. With locations across Livermore, Fresno, West Sacramento, and Salinas in California, Total Industries is committed to providing exceptional service and innovative solutions to its customers.
The company's mission revolves around creating the best possible experience for its customers, suppliers, and associates. By focusing on sustainability, adaptability, and innovation, Total Industries has expanded its portfolio to encompass a comprehensive range of services, including new and used equipment sales, rentals, parts, service, operator training, and tailored warehouse solutions. They specialize in dock-to-dock material handling, ensuring efficiency and safety in various industrial settings.
The leadership has transitioned to the next generation, with Rich serving as the Chairman while his sons Mark and Stephen take on roles as CEO and COO, respectively. The family-oriented workplace culture not only fosters strong relationships among its employees but also extends to the company's more than 200 extended family members—they truly see their workforce as part of their family.
At Total Industries, the core values of communication, transparency, accountability, training, and follow-through guide the company's daily operations and long-term strategies. Their goal is not just to provide equipment but to partner with businesses, diving deeply into their clients' needs to elevate efficiency, safety, and profitability.
