“Once we decide to build a facility, we have to take responsibility for employment and the local society.”-Toyoda Akio, Toyota Motor President, during interview with NHK about plans to build a new factory in Mexico, 06 January 2017

“Toyota plans on manufacturing Corollas in Mexico….”-NHK, 05 January 2017

In past couple of days there were news reports of president elect Donald Trump threatening Nipponese company Toyota with huge tariffs if it moves production of Corollas to Mexico.  I’ve watched several reports on Nippon’s NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation), one report in which Toyota administrators actually stated they never had plans to move U.S. production to Baja California, Mexico.  That’s a lie!

In my December industrial job destruction report I wrote “Kentucky: What automotive industry recovery? Japan based Toyota eliminating the remaining 650 jobs as it shuts down its North American HQ in Erlanger!  News reports say at one time there were nearly 2-thousand Toyota employees in Kentucky.”

This is interesting because Toyota’s own U.S. website says “This is an exciting time to be a part of Toyota, as we bring together all of our headquarters operations in Plano, TX (about 20 miles north of Dallas), expand our technical center near York Township, MI, and build a new production engineering facility in Georgetown, KY.”

Some of those Kentucky jobs are going to Mexico!  It’s not just Toyota’s HQ in Kentucky that’s ‘moving’ to Mexico, but factory jobs across the U.S. as well.

NHK reporters pointed out that Toyota has already spent the past few years building a new factory in Mexico, proving that Toyota does plan to move U.S. production to Mexico.   Back in 2014, Toyota announced it would consolidate it’s U.S. factory production by the end of 2018, however, Toyota claimed it was moving the jobs to Texas and Michigan, not Mexico.

At the beginning of January 2017, some of the 648 Toyota HQ staff in Erlanger began leaving for the new HQ in Plano, Texas.  Toyota factories in California and New York are shutting down production under the consolidation plan (already in 2015 Toyota shifted Tacoma production from California to Texas).

But another clue that Toyota is planning on moving U.S. jobs to Mexico is the fact that Mexico’s leaders are trying to make deals to keep jobs in Mexico, including Toyota jobs since “Toyota is spending $1bn to expand its Mexican facilities and Akio Toyoda, its president, said the company will ‘see what policies the incoming [US] president adopts’ before deciding whether to take action.”
