Mazda and Toyota Global Leaders Visit

7/5/2022

GOOD NEWS : Last week Mazda and Toyota global leaders visited north Alabama to commemorate a special project.

Mazda and Toyota’s joint venture investment of a 1.6 billion dollar magnitude made economic history in Alabama. Toyota has been a part of Huntsville since 2001 and has invested over $900 million dollars in multiple expansions at its facility that produces engines in north Huntsville. Mazda chose Alabama as its only US manufacturing site because of our pro-business climate, quality and skilled workforce, proximity to the interstate, and because of Alabama’s history as a leader in the automotive industry. Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USA has already created, and will continue to create, thousands of direct advanced manufacturing jobs as well as supplier jobs in north Alabama. These are sought-after careers that will provide wages Alabamians can live on with global companies that consistently invest in their workforce and communities. Toyota and Mazda’s monumental presence in Alabama highlights how our state leads the nation in the automotive manufacturing industry.

In 2018, Alabama made global headlines as we thanked Akio Toyoda, President of Toyota Corporation, and Masamichi Kogai, President of Mazda, for investing in our state. Economic development is a team effort. Four and-a-half years later, we thank again and celebrate everyone who collaborated to make ‘Project New World’ happen.
