Hello everyone! Fred Marks here continuing my monthly blog series dedicated to the latest news from Toyota. This month I’d like to touch on the exciting news that recently came out of Tupelo, Mississippi. There, before a crowd of around 9,000 people, the all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla rolled off the line. Why is this special? Because the 2014 Toyota Corolla is assembled by 2,000 team members at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi, Inc, located in Tupelo.
This is exciting news for a number of reasons. To begin with, the production of the all-new Toyota Corolla in Mississippi represents the Toyota nameplate’s commitment to creating jobs and stimulating the economy in the United States, where it has sold many cars to many drivers. And create jobs they did. Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi, Inc. has 2,000 team members assembling the Toyota Corolla, with another 1300 people employed in five “near-site” Toyota suppliers.
This milestone also indicates the ongoing success of the Toyota Corolla line. The Toyota Corolla is in its 11th generation, having last month sold its 40-millionth unit worldwide. As anyone in the industry will tell you, the Toyota Corolla is one of the world’s most popular compact sedans.
Toyota remains committed to the communities in which it operates. The recent celebration in Tupelo was also Team Mississippi Appreciation Day, and Toyota Mississippi team members and their families, suppliers and invited guests turned out in great numbers to celebrate the achievement. And special guests Miss. Lt. Governor Tate Reeves and Congressman Alan Nunnelee even joined to show their support.
If you’re looking for the 2014 Toyota Corolla in Libertyville, you can rest assured that you are getting a customer favorite that has been successful for years and is built right here in the United States. In the automotive market, that is peace of mind that you can rest your hat on.
