Toyota manufacturing in the UK The UK plays an important role in Toyota's European operations. It was here that Toyota built its first production facilities in Europe, establishing Toyota Manufacturing UK (TMUK) with an engine plant in Deeside, North Wales, and a car plant in Burnaston, near Derby. These plants were put into operation in 1992, and since then Toyota has invested 3.25 billion euros in activities related to their operation. Today, TMUK directly employs around 3,000 people, with many thousands more indirectly linked in an extensive supply chain. The majority of TMUK's automotive production (about 85%) is exported, mostly to the European Union and other European markets.
