Toyota Texas Embraces a Workforce for All

July 23, 2024

Last month, Toyota Texas celebrated a new milestone in workforce inclusion of individuals with disabilities: the grand opening of the ToyotAbility Production Center (TPC). The TPC is a dedicated workspace within the plant that employs individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in subcomponent work. The first employee started in April 2024, and the TPC now has six employees. The TPC team has produced more than 240,000 parts to date.

“We are proud the TPC is a beacon within Toyota Texas that embraces and employs individuals with different abilities,” said Susann Kazunas, Toyota Texas president. “The work our employees do in the TPC every day is essential to assembling Tundras and Sequoias, and I am grateful they are a part of Team Texas.”
