About Toyota

Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (Toyota Australia) is one of Toyota Japan's global manufacturing centres with a long term commitment to the domestic and export markets.

The Company

After 50 years in Australia, Toyota has grown to be one of Australia's leading automotive companies. But Toyota's focus is looking ahead. 50 years experience is just the foundations for a bigger and brighter future for everyone.

Toyota Australia's origins go back to 1958 when Theiss Brothers began importing the first LandCruiser models for work on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme and sold the first Toyota LandCruiser in 1959. Assembly of Toyota cars began in the Melbourne factory of Australian Motor Industries (later AMI-Toyota) in 1963 and within a decade the Corolla and Corona (replaced by Camry in 1987) were well established in the market.

The commercial vehicle business became Theiss Toyota in 1971 and achieved commercial leadership in 1979. Meantime AMI Toyota began investing in an engine and stamping plant to consolidate its position as a high local content vehicle manufacturer.

In 1988 Toyota's local operations were unified to form Toyota Motor Corporation Australia and work began on restructuring and strengthening the group as a major step towards achieving international competitiveness and building vital export business. Toyota in 1994-95 consolidated vehicle production at its new world-ranking Altona plant in Melbourne.
