Toyota's TABC Plant Celebrates 40 Years of Manufacturing in California
TABC, originally known as Atlas Fabricators, contracted with Toyota in 1972 to produce truck beds for vehicles destined for the U.S. Two years later, Toyota purchased the operations and renamed it TABC, becoming the first manufacturing investment in the U.S. for Toyota.
Today, TABC employs 470 and its investment tops $270 million. It produces stamped and welded parts, steering columns and catalytic converters for a number of Toyota’s vehicle assembly plants in North America and Japan and tests, inspects and repackages end-of-life hybrid vehicle batteries.
“The spirit of family is what makes TABC unique,” said Atsushi Niimi, executive vice president and member of the board of Toyota Motor Corporation. “As our first manufacturing plant in the U.S., TABC’s rich history represents Toyota’s commitment to outstanding teamwork and continuous improvement.”
“TABC has played a vital role in Toyota’s formula for success in the U.S.,” said Mike Bafan, president of TABC. “And our mission was clear; to set the stage for Toyota’s growth by building the best products. And over these 40 years, we have proven ourselves as a world-class manufacturer with an outstanding workforce that’s dedicated to safety and quality.”
To commemorate its 40th anniversary as a member of the Long Beach community, TABC made donations to each of the following non-profit organizations:

2012 Earnings: First Quarter
In August 2012, Toyota announced a hefty profit in the first quarter and said that it aimed to build a record-breaking 9.76 million cars in 2012, leading a recovery by Japanese automakers after a year of natural disasters and a punishingly strong currency.
Though the strong yen continues to weigh on Japanese exporters’ bottom lines, many other things are going right for Japanese automakers. Supply chains that were severed are now up and running, and manufacturers like Toyota and Honda are racing to meet pent-up demand and are fast regaining lost ground in profitable markets like the United States. Japanese government incentives on fuel-efficient cars have revived markets at home.
Toyota said net profit for the April-to-June quarter had risen to ¥290.3 billion, or $3.7 billion, from ¥1.1 billion in 2011, after the number of vehicles it sold nearly doubled.
The brisk sales growth prompted the carmaker to raise its global sales target 180,000 cars to 9.76 million cars in 2012, which would be a 23 percent increase from 7.95 million in 2011.
Together with group companies that make trucks and light vehicles, Toyota expects to produce 10.05 million vehicles in 2011, which would make it the first automaker to break through the 10-million mark. The new targets could allow Toyota to win back its standing as the world’s largest automaker; in the first six months of 2012, Toyota has led General Motors by 300,000 units.
Reflecting uncertainties ahead Toyota has modest forecasts for the year. Despite the strong first-quarter showing, Toyota said it would leave its annual profit forecast unchanged at ¥760 billion on ¥22 trillion in sales.
Still, the robust earnings and global clout of Japan’s automakers are providing some comfort to a country that has seen its consumer electronics companies lambasted by foreign competition.
And after four years in the doldrums, the all-important North American market is finally rebounding, helping to pick up some of the slack posed by a slowdown in some emerging markets.
Ultimately, Japanese automakers will have to face up to a problem that refuses to go away: the strong yen, which makes Japanese exports more expensive overseas and erodes overseas earnings when they are converted into the home currency. Toyota, which still makes about 40 percent of its cars in Japan and has said it is committed to keeping a sizable production base in the country, is especially exposed to foreign exchange swings: for every ¥1 gain against the dollar, the company loses about ¥35 billion in annual profit.
Takahiko Ijichi, the senior managing officer, said the company had few options but to shore up profit by cutting costs further, selling a better mix of more expensive cars and in some cases, moving more production overseas.

Toyota Financial Services Funds Will Benefit Underserved Students Through Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Other Non-Profit Partners
Toyota Financial Services (TFS) today announced the expansion of its Making Life Easier scholarship program to $1 million for 2013, which will provide scholarships to underserved students through Boys & Girls Clubs of America as well as other TFS non-profit partners including North High School, All Peoples Community Center, Community’s Child, 1736 Family Crisis Center, and Los Angeles Team Mentoring.
The announcement took place at a Community Day event held on the Toyota Financial Services main campus where more than 350 students and their families, Toyota associates and special guests gathered to celebrate the students’ academic achievement.
Since 2007 Toyota Financial Services has provided scholarships to deserving students from local non-profit partners including students from the East Los Angeles Boys & Girls Clubs who have demonstrated academic achievement and served as role models by volunteering in their community. As part of TFS’ national giving strategy, the Making Life Easier scholarships program allows economically disadvantaged youth to pursue their higher education goals by providing up to $20,000 for university, college, trade or vocational school tuition and fees. To date, TFS has provided $1.4 million in scholarships to nearly 400 local Boys & Girls Club students and more than $2.3 million in direct funding to the Boys & Girls Clubs of East Los Angeles and $6.4 million to Boys & Girls Clubs of America and other Clubs across the country to support after-school programs and family economic development programs.
Earlier this year, Toyota partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to announce the establishment of Diplomas to Degrees - or D2D, an intensive college readiness program funded by an initial $1.5 million grant from Toyota over three years to help provide tools, resources and support to Boys & Girls Club teens to better prepare them to move from high school to college graduates. This year, nine Boys & Girls Clubs piloting the D2D program participated in the Making Life Easier scholarship program and as a result TFS is awarding $85,000 in scholarships to D2D students from across the country.
Among the students honored at the Community Day event, local Boys & Girls Clubs of East LA student Ivonne Gonzalez who received a $20,000 scholarship shared her story how at a young age she overcame life challenges and financial difficulties, while managing to keep good grades and serve as positive role model within her community. Also recognized was Brian Miller from San Antonio, Texas who was one of the Making Life Easier Scholars through the Diplomas to Degrees Program for 2012.
The Community Day event featured special guests from Boys & Girls Clubs of America including former L.A. Laker and retired NBA star, philanthropist, and Boys & Girls Club alum AC Green, who congratulated the students on their achievements.
In addition, TFS associates held their annual “Back to School Drive” where they support deserving local youth by donating backpacks, school supplies, and other necessities to start the school year off right. Associates “adopt” a student and help set them up for success this school year by purchasing school supplies and then assist stuffing the backpacks. This year’s annual Back to School Drive yielded more than 700 backpacks for underserved students.
