Toyota Mississippi Produces 500,000th Corolla

Feb 24, 2015

An impressive production milestone will soon be set by the Toyota Mississippi Manufacturing Plant when the 500,000th produced Toyota Corolla officially rolls off of the assembly line. When this vehicle is officially completed it will mean that this milestone has been reached in only four years since this plant has only been open since 2011. This officially makes this the fastest that this goal was achieved compared with any other Toyota plant in the U.S. This is truly a tribute to the hard work and dedication of each of the over 2,000 employees of this plant, in fact, last year alone Toyota Mississippi produced 180,00 Corollas.

“The 500,000th Corolla vehicle is a milestone we’re excited to be celebrating,” said Fred Volf, Toyota Mississippi, vice president of manufacturing. “We are proud to produce the Corolla, and it wouldn’t have been accomplished without the 2,000 dedicated team members who support this operation.”

In addition to being incredibly dedicated to production, the team at Toyota Mississippi is also incredibly dedicated to its local community. In the four year since it first opened its doors, the Plant has contributed to the local area through philanthropic and sustainability efforts and job creation.
