Toyota Motor Corporation remains an independent global leader committed to sustainable mobility. The story began in 1926 with the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, where founder Sakichi Toyoda revolutionized textile production. By the early 1930s, his son, Kiichiro Toyoda, expanded into automotive engineering, creating early engine prototypes.
On August 28, 1937, the automotive division officially incorporated as Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. Decades of continuous innovation followed. In 1982, Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. merged with Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. to establish the modern entity known today as Toyota Motor Corporation.
Today, Toyota maintains singular ownership over its core brand while holding strategic partnerships with automakers like Subaru and Mazda. From launching the luxury Lexus line in the 1980s to advancing electrified powertrains under the Beyond Zero vision, Toyota continues to expand mobility options for every driver.
Toyota designs and builds vehicles across multiple continents to meet the distinct needs of drivers worldwide. This global manufacturing footprint reflects a commitment to quality, durability, and safety. Drivers across Cheverly will find Toyota assembly facilities in nations around the globe, including:
