Who Owns Toyota & Where Is It Made?
The original company was founded in 1926 to produce automatic looms. The engineers at the then-named Toyota Automatic Loom Works began experimenting with building their own motors, starting with bike motors and upgrading to full car engine prototypes by the early 1930s. With several promising prototypes for passenger vehicles in hand, the Toyota Automatic Loom Works established a separate division, Toyota Motor Corporation, to begin its journey into the automotive market. Since its founding in 1937, Toyota Motor Corporation has thrived and expanded into the international automaker it is today.
Toyota has major production plants across the United States, including:
- Georgetown, Kentucky: Home to the Toyota Camry, RAV4 Hybrid
- Princeton, Indiana: Produces the Toyota Highlander, Sienna
- San Antonio, Texas: Builds the popular Toyota Tundra and Tacoma trucks
- Huntsville, Alabama: Manufactures engines for several Toyota models
Toyota also maintains research and development centers in Michigan and California, continuously improving every vehicle it produces.
