Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky Expands Georgetown, Kentucky, EV Vehicle Production Operations

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Georgetown, Kentucky.

The $800 million project will prepare the company for its second battery electric vehicle as well as increase production capacity of the Camry and RAV4.

“At Toyota, manufacturing has always been about more than building vehicles, it’s about investing in people and our communities,” said Kerry Creech, president of Toyota Kentucky. “For 40 years, we’ve been proud to call Kentucky home. That pride comes from our incredible team members, and from the strong partnerships we’ve built across this great state. Together, they’re the reason we’ve succeeded and continue to grow.”

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky manufactures multiple vehicle models and supports assembly, stamping, and powertrain operations.

“Kentucky changed for the better 40 years ago when Toyota chose to make Georgetown its New Kentucky Home, and I am proud to say that partnership remains strong with the company’s investment of $800 million at this site and the additional $4.4 million going toward our future workforce,” noted Governor Andy Beshear. “Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky is Toyota’s largest vehicle manufacturing plant in the world, producing over 15 million vehicles since its doors opened and benefiting Kentuckians through good jobs and a strong economy. Today, we’re building on that success to ensure the future remains bright for this company and our commonwealth.”

“In keeping with the 40th year of Toyota’s location to Georgetown, Scott County, Kentucky, we are extremely pleased to participate in this monumental anniversary, knowing full well that they will continue to be the quality company that they are for our community and the commonwealth,” added Jack Conner, executive director of Scott County United.
