Toyota Motor North America is celebrated the official opening of its new North American headquarters two weeks ago in Plano, Texas with a gala event attendeded by hundreds of dignitaries, partners and community leaders who got the first glimpse of Toyota’s new corporate campus that reaffirms the company’s longstanding commitment to the United States.
Three years ago, Toyota announced its “One Toyota” initiative to create more unified operations in North America, in part, by bringing together its quality engineering, sales, marketing, financial services, and corporate functions in one location.
Since then, the company has invested about $1 billion on the project to build its new corporate campus on 100 acres in Plano and move thousands of team members and their families from California, Kentucky and beyond to North Texas. With construction nearly complete, occupancy began in late spring, and an average of a couple hundred team members per week are moving in, which is expected to continue in phases through December.
Celebrating its 60-year anniversary in the United States this year, Toyota has long been part of America’s cultural fabric. Toyota’s U.S. commitment includes:
-$23.4 billion in direct investment.
-10 manufacturing assembly facilities around the country.
-Nearly 1,500 Toyota and Lexus dealerships.
-136,000 direct and dealer employees.
In addition, earlier this year, Toyota said it will spend $10 billion in U.S. capital investments over the next five years, an outlay that includes the construction of its Plano headquarters and improvements to its existing manufacturing facilities.
