Engineering & Manufacturing

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (TEMA), headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky, is responsible for Toyota's engineering design and development, R&D, and manufacturing activities in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.* In 14 manufacturing locations across North America, team members are producing 12 vehicles including the Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Matrix, RAV4, Sienna, Sequoia, Tacoma, Tundra, Venza and the Lexus RX 350. Our newest plant, where we build the Corolla, opened in Blue Springs, Mississippi in November 2011.

Toyota Technical Center (TTC), a division of TEMA, is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The expansion in York Township has increased investment by $187 million. This location is home to Toyota's first full safety test facility outside Japan.

Toyota's total direct investment in the U.S. has now grown to more than $18 billion, and our annual spending on parts, goods and services from hundreds of U.S. suppliers totals more than $25 billion.**
