The Toyota plant in Blue Springs, Mississippi, celebrated a milestone recently as it produced its 500,000th Corolla (nearly 180,000 in 2014).
An estimated 2,000 Toyota members accomplished this task faster than any other Toyota plant in America. Since the vehicle debuted in 1968, more than 10 million have been sold in the United States and 40 million worldwide.
Toyota has taken those resources derived from sales and placed it back into local communities. Toyota and its Mississippi-based suppliers have created nearly 3,700 jobs, while investing more than $1.26 billion in the state’s economy.
Today Toyota is the world's top automobile manufacturer.
