Toyota to invest $922 million to build a new paint facility at its Kentucky complex
Associated PressGEORGETOWN, Ky. — Toyota said Thursday it will build a new paint facility as part of a $922 million investment at its factory complex in Georgetown, Kentucky, making it the second big addition announced this year at the automaker’s largest global manufacturing plant. The new 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. “Toyota’s commitment to advanced paint technologies goes beyond aesthetics,” said Kerry Creech, president of Toyota Kentucky. “It encompasses efficiency, sustainability and quality, leading the industry in environmentally responsible manufacturing.” The project also will increase flexibility for future vehicle production and advances Toyota’s goal to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050, the automaker said.
