On September 4, Toyota announced a $531 million investment to expand its manufacturing facility in San Antonio, underscoring its ongoing commitment to the region, as detailed in a press release.
The Details:
The investment will add a 500,000-square-foot facility dedicated to drivetrain parts production, creating over 400 new jobs and enhancing production for the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia.
The project builds on Toyota’s 20-year legacy in San Antonio, where it already assembles trucks and SUVs, and follows a $6.5 million grant to East Central ISD for STEM education.
Rep. John Lujan said, “This expansion underscores Bexar County’s growing reputation as a hub for advanced manufacturing.”
Toyota Texas aims to start production by mid-2026, reinforcing its role in the U.S. manufacturing supply chain.
The move aligns with Toyota’s $531 million investment announced in June 2024, reflecting a continued focus on local growth.
