Following the recent rumors, Toyota announced today that it is establishing a new headquarters in North Dallas, Texas, for its North American operations to better serve customers and position the brand for long-term growth.
Within three years Toyota’s three North American headquarters for manufacturing, sales and marketing, and corporate operations will shift to a new campus in Plano, affecting around 4,000 employees.
“With our major North American business affiliates and leaders together in one location for the first time, we will be better equipped to speed decision making, share best practices, and leverage the combined strength of our employees,” said Toyota first chief executive Jim Lentz.
“This, in turn, will strengthen our ability to put customers first and to continue making great products that exceed their expectations. Ultimately, enabling greater collaboration and efficiencies across Toyota will help us become a more dynamic, innovative and successful organization in North America,” he added.
Toyota also said it will create a new environmentally-sustainable campus facility in Plano, which is expected to be erected in at least two years starting this fall. Until the new facility is complete, initial small groups of employees will work from a temporary location in the Plano area.
Our big question is, will this change affect Toyota’s operations? Will the company experience the same loss as Nissan when it too shifted headquarters and only around 40 percent of its employees accepted to move and start a new life.
