On December 4, 2008, Toyota celebrated the grand opening of its new assembly plant in Woodstock, Ontario. This new facility, situated on 1000 acres, will initially employ 1200 people and produce 75 000 vehicles annually (Toyota RAV4). The facility is the firstgreenfield assembly site in Canada since the mid-1980s.

Introducing the Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of State Gary Goodyear was pleased to take part in the official opening ceremonies.

The plant will employ innovations such as splatterless robotic welding, a waterborne paint cartridge system, leading-edge wastewater treatment/recycling and air filtration systems, and reusable/recyclable packaging.

In 2007, Canada accounted for 7.0 percent of Toyota's North American sales, 18.2 percent of its vehicle production, 14.2 percent of its engine production, and all of its wheel production.

In addition to selling vehicles and parts in Canada, Toyota operates two assembly plants in Cambridge, Ontario; an aluminum wheel plant in Delta, British Columbia; and a cold weather testing centre in Timmins, Ontario.
