Toyota's West Virginia plant celebrates production of 10-millionth unit

Toyota Motor Manufacturing, West Virginia, Inc., (TMMWV) and its 1,300 team members celebrated production of the plant's 10-millionth powertrain unit at a ceremony with guests from the state's business and civic community. Powertrain units include engines and automatic
transmissions.

"From the very beginning, our mission was to support Toyota's growing North America operations by building high-quality powertrains for our customers," said TMMWV President Yogi Suzuki.  "Our team members' focus on quality, safety and their commitment to continuous improvement is second-to-none. West Virginia has been and will continue to be an important part of Toyota's efforts to localise production in North America."

Donation to local schools
To commemorate this celebration, TMMWV donated $32,500 to 13 area schools in Putnam, Mason, Cabell and Kanawha counties to enhance TMMWV's and Bridgemont Community and Technical College's Advanced Manufacturing Technician program (AMT), created last summer. The AMT program combines a cutting-edge curriculum, paid work experience, and instruction in highly sought after business principles and best practices from a world-class manufacturer that results in a two-year associate's degree from Bridgemont.
