SAN ANTONIO – (Realty News Report) – Toyota will build a 2.6 million SF manufacturing plant in San Antonio as it transitions production of its Tacoma truck from Tijuana, Mexico to Texas.
Toyota Motor North America said it will invest $3.6 billion to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus with a second vehicle assembly line to support the Tacoma truck. The expansion will create 2,000 new jobs by 2030.
“By expanding our San Antonio plant, we are deepening our commitment to American manufacturing, creating meaningful and sustainable jobs, while advancing our mission to deliver high-quality vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers today and into the future,” said Toyota Motor North America President and CEO Ted Ogawa.
The announcement represents an economic development win for the Lone Star State after a highly competitive site-selection process by Toyota.
“Texas is where the world builds bigger, and Toyota shows it once more with a $3.6 billion expansion in San Antonio that doubles their factory footprint and creates 2,000 new jobs,” said Texas Governor Abbott. “Supported by the Texas Enterprise Fund and JETI program, this expansion will deliver economic opportunities to generations of San Antonio families and further cement Texas as the premier destination for world-class advanced manufacturing.”
This latest investment will add another assembly line to the campus at Toyota Texas, which already includes a vehicle assembly line and new rear axle plant that is nearing startup.
“We are so proud of Team Texas and what they have accomplished over the past two decades,” said Frank Voss, group vice president of truck manufacturing, TMNA and president of Toyota Texas. “The 2,000 acres of South Texas ranchland our plant stands on today was purposefully selected for its ability to scale with vehicle demand, and today marks the first step toward realizing that potential.”
Toyota’s local workforce will climb to approximately 6,000 team members, supported by 23 on-site suppliers and their employees.
For nearly 20 years, Toyota Texas has rolled out top-quality trucks and SUVs, assembling more than 197,000 vehicles last year alone. The San Antonio plant, located on the south side of San Antonio west of Highway 281, is the exclusive home of the Tundra and Sequoia, both assembled on the same production line.
“This marks a transformational expansion for Toyota in San Antonio. With a second vehicle assembly line, Toyota will continue to grow quality jobs with tremendous career progression opportunities for our San Antonio region,” said Sarah Carabias Rush, president and CEO of greater:SATX Regional Economic Partnership.
