Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK is one of the largest and most forward-thinking automotive businesses in the world, and its UK manufacturing home is right here in the East Midlands, adjacent to the East Midlands Intermodal Park tax site within East Midlands Freeport.

Toyota has been producing vehicles at its Burnaston site in Derbyshire for 30 years, with its super-efficient and market-leading Corolla hatchback and Touring Sports hybrid cars rolling off production lines.

More than 3,000 people work at Burnaston, which is responsible for stamping, welding, painting, plastic mouldings, and final vehicle assembly. The site is one of Toyota’s principal European production centres and has produced more than five million vehicles since it opened in 1992.

Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK not only plays a vital role in the automotive industry but also exemplifies innovation and excellence in manufacturing within the region and beyond.
