Toyota Opens Second Facility in Michigan; Plant Aims to Add 1,100 Jobs by 2010

YORK TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Toyota Technical Center (TTC) celebrated the grand opening of its new engineering and safety testing facilities in Michigan this week. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm and U.S. Congressman John Dingell, as well as several hundred government officials, community leaders, suppliers and Toyota team members attended the ceremony.

 

TTC, a division of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America (TEMA), already has a site in Ann Arbor, Mich. With the expansion in York Township, TTC is adding 400 new jobs and plans to boost its employment to 1,100 by 2010.

 

"Toyota’s investment of $187 million to advance research and development demonstrates our commitment to the North American automotive industry," said Shigeki Terashi, TTC president. "TTC has been conducting R&D activity in Michigan for more than 30 years and recognizes Southeast Michigan as the center for automotive R&D in North America."
