Toyota Motor ManufacturingNorth America, Inc.
  • "Our Texas facility, with its concentration
    of on-site suppliers, represents a new approach
    to automotive manufacturing. The San Antonio
    Economic Development Foundation's role in
    marketing the city to our suppliers was a major
    contributor to Toyota attaining our vision of
    'Team Texas.' Toyota realized the benefits of San
    Antonio several years ago, thanks in large part
    to a lot of hard work from the Foundation. Now
    our suppliers feel the same way. The Foundation
    has simply been a great partner for us and our
    suppliers."
