* Exported to Japan Note: this list does not include such support systems as Toyota Tsusho America (mostly logistics - import and export. Tsusho is Japanese for trading). Their basic business is acting as a logistics service for Toyota. In Georgetown they have a steel division that imports steel for TMMK directly or to various customers who then form/cut/etc. and then resell to TMMK. Another section deals mainly with car parts imported from the parent company in Japan, Toyota Tsusho Corporation. They warehouse and/or crossdock to our customers, the main ones being TMMK subsidiaries or suppliers. Another section imports fabric and upholstery and has a die/cut operation. Another section orders and supplies service parts for the TMMK plant lines to keep them up and running. "Our current President is Takashi Hasegawa and Vice President is Yoshiki Miura." Thanks to Judith Jansen for pointing out the absence of Georgetown and letting us known about Tsusho. Thanks to Ali Robinson for pointing to a more current resources which led us to fix Kentucky information and add Delta, B.C. and Long Beach, CA. Toyota Canada Inc. (TCI) is in Toronto, with regional offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Halifax. Toyota parts and accessories are distributed through TCIs Parts Distribution Centres in Toronto and Vancouver. Three Toyota models - the Corolla, Matrix, and Camry Solara - are built in Canada by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. in Cambridge Ontario.

Europe and Africa

Toyota first entered the United Kingdom in 1992, and currently employees nearly 3,000 people there. The Avensis and Corolla are made at Burnaston (near Derby), and engines are made at Deeside, North Wales. The Bernaston plant, Toyotas first auto assembly plant in Europe, can make up to 220,000 cars per year. Toyota seems satisfied with its British factories, despite the strength of the pound against the euro. Toyota argued that, while other companies (particularly Ford) are moving to continental Europe to get better exchange

rate, Toyota was happy with the efficiency of its British plants, particularly the Burnaston factory. TMC = Toyota Motor Corp., TEMA = Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America,Inc., TICO = Toyota Industries Corp.

Tahara plant Lexus We know there are more, would anyone care to contribute?

The Lexus plant in Tahara, which builds the Lexus LS 600 and its engines, was recently profiled by Automotive News (July 9, 2007). To build the LS 600 h, workers are trained continuously and recertified every four months at various skill levels; every detail of the cars is manually checked and rechecked. Even color shading and tints are checked by individuals. Workers learn to pick up the right number of bolts each time and do finger-strength exercises; they are trained to hear when bolts are torqued correctly. The training center, with 50 trainers and assistant trainers, uses lectures and computer-aided instruction. No less than 26,000 operations are checked at the plant. Workers must be clean to avoid having dirt get into the cars, with those in semiconductor areas going through an air shower to get to the clean rooms. Each and every LS 600 h produced is test-driven to make sure that the car tracks in a straight line at 56 mph, to ensure that no unwanted noises are there, and that everything reacts well under hard braking and acceleration. Two hundred inspectors look for scratches on car bodies, twice as many as in a normal Toyota plant; 4,000 points are checked on each car. Robots also take over 1,200 photos of each car to find scratches that people might miss. Both people and machines check gaps and assure that body and interior panels are perfect. Paint colors are inspected under different types of light.
