Toyota Texas is set to solidify its U.S. presence with a substantial $531 million investment, creating over 400 high-quality jobs in San Antonio. It underscores Toyota’s commitment to reinvesting in American operations and enhancing production capabilities.
The investment targets the construction of a new 500,000-square-foot facility for drivetrain parts production, highlighting Toyota’s confidence in its U.S. operations and commitment to innovation and job creation.
“Our team members are ready for this new opportunity to grow our plant’s capabilities and workforce,” said Susann Kazunas, President of Toyota Texas. “They are highly capable, innovative and have a steadfast commitment to our products. We are proud to celebrate that spirit and the long-term job stability the investment represents, and we are excited to welcome 400 new team members to Toyota Texas.”
For nearly two decades, Toyota Texas has played a major role in the automotive industry, producing top-quality trucks and SUVs. Last year, the plant assembled over 181,000 vehicles. With this new investment, Toyota’s total investment in the San Antonio plant exceeds $4.7 billion.
“Texas is proud to be the home of a global powerhouse like Toyota,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “For more than two decades, Texas has been home to Toyota manufacturing. Toyota Texas’ new $531 million investment to expand their manufacturing facility in San Antonio that will create over 400 good-paying jobs is a testament to Texas’ unmatched business-friendly environment, low taxes and young, growing and skilled workforce. I thank Toyota for their continued expansion in Texas, and I look forward to strengthening our partnership as we build a bigger, better Texas for generations to come.”
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg emphasized the positive impact on the local community.“This is an incredible victory for both the City of San Antonio and Toyota Texas. Over 400 stable, high-quality jobs will be created in our community, demonstrating Toyota’s willingness to continue to invest in the people of San Antonio. We are extremely proud of this corporate partnership, and I look forward to all the great things that San Antonio and Toyota Texas will continue to build together.”
This investment not only highlights Toyota’s commitment to job creation but also reinforces the plant’s flexibility with advanced manufacturing technologies. It showcases the company’s broader strategy to enhance capabilities across North America. Toyota Texas remains the exclusive production site for the Tundra truck and the all-hybrid Sequoia SUV, both assembled on the same production line.
