At Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas, a new vehicle emerges from the assembly line almost every minute. This remarkable pace and efficiency are the hallmarks of “Team Texas,” a dedicated workforce of over 3,700 employees. Together with more than 20 on-site suppliers employing an additional 5,600 individuals, they are the driving force behind the production of the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia.
Established in San Antonio in 2003 and commencing operations in 2006, Toyota Texas is built upon 2,678 acres of land with a rich history dating back to 1794. Demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship, Toyota donated 678 acres to the city, preserving greenspace along Leon Creek and the Medina River bordering the property.
The Toyota Texas plant is more than just an assembly line; it’s a hub of advanced automotive manufacturing. Spanning 2.2 million square feet on a 2,000-acre site, the facility encompasses a comprehensive range of operations, including stamping, body welding, painting, and final assembly. This integrated approach underscores Toyota’s commitment to streamlined and high-quality vehicle production.
In a significant expansion announced in 2024, Toyota Texas is set to begin rear axle assembly in 2026. This new capability will enhance the plant’s role in Toyota’s North American manufacturing network, supplying rear axles for the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia produced on-site, as well as the Toyota Tacoma manufactured in Mexico. This expansion not only signifies growth but also Toyota’s increasing investment in its Texas operations and the wider North American automotive supply chain.
Toyota’s impact in San Antonio extends beyond manufacturing. With a current investment of $4.7 billion and community donations reaching $50 million, Toyota is deeply integrated into the local community. The recent opening of the ToyotAbility Production Center further exemplifies Toyota’s dedication to inclusive manufacturing and creating opportunities for all. Through initiatives like the ToyotAbility Production Center and substantial community grants, Toyota demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility alongside its manufacturing prowess.
From its groundbreaking in 2003 to its continuous expansion and community engagement, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas stands as a testament to efficient and innovative automotive production. As Toyota continues to invest and grow its operations in San Antonio, the plant remains a critical component of Toyota’s manufacturing strategy, producing high-quality vehicles and contributing significantly to the local and regional economy.
