- "Our Texas facility, with its concentration
of on-site suppliers, represents a new approach
to automotive manufacturing. The San Antonio
Economic Development Foundation's role in
marketing the city to our suppliers was a major
contributor to Toyota attaining our vision of
'Team Texas.' Toyota realized the benefits of San
Antonio several years ago, thanks in large part
to a lot of hard work from the Foundation. Now
our suppliers feel the same way. The Foundation
has simply been a great partner for us and our
suppliers."
