Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. (TMMC) announced the production of the company's 5 millionth vehicle in Canada at its Cambridge, ON assembly plant.
"From humble beginnings, today TMMC is a globally respected manufacturing operation that can produce more than 500,000 vehicles per year,'' said TMMC Chairman Ray Tanguay. ''Our success has allowed us to create more good jobs for Canadians and become a better corporate citizen for our community."
TMMC currently builds the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, RAV4 and RAV4 EV, as well as the Lexus RX 350. The RX 450h hybrid CUV will be added in 2014. This makes Canada the only production site for Lexus vehicles outside of Japan.
Since 1988, the TMMC workforce has grown from 1,000 to 6,500.
