Toyota Motor Manufacturing Russia Adds a Second Shift

The decision was made in April earlier this year and follows the outstanding sales results and high evaluation of the Camry sedan in the Russian market. Since the announcement 600 new people have been hired and trained in accordance with practices of Toyota manufacturing companies globally. New employees were trained in fundamental skills required for car manufacturing, essential quality principles of the Toyota Production System and enjoyed operating experience at several working places.

In February of this year, TMMR announced plans to add stamping and resin-moulding processes to its production during 2014. These expansion plans aim to further promote localisation in Russia, a market promising continued sustained growth.
