It will push the Japanese automaker’s investment in its sprawling Kentucky plant to more than 2.2 billion this year alone. It’s also expanding in San Antonio.
GEORGETOWN , Ky. — Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday it will build a new paint facility as part of a $922 million investment at its factory complex in Georgetown , Kentucky , the second big addition announced this year at the automaker’s largest global manufacturing plant. In February, the company said it would invest $1.3 billion at the Kentucky complex, in part so it can build an all-new three-row electric SUV to be sold in the U.S.
The plant will add more than 400 jobs, bringing total employment at the plant to more than 4,000 people. It’s scheduled to open in late 2026. The Kentucky paint facility, scheduled to open in 2027, will add 1 million square feet of capacity while decreasing carbon emissions by 30% and water usage by 1.5 million gallons per year, Toyota said. It will enable the company to offer more diverse color options for all its vehicles, the company said.
