On Schedule

Mazda noted that despite poor weather, construction of the new Mazda Toyota Manufacturing U.S.A., Inc plant is well underway. Team members there recently celebrated when the first steel column went up. It was a true milestone which they honored with a small gathering at the plant site. Construction at the site remains on schedule.

“Today marks an exciting milestone for the MTMUS team and the state of Alabama,” said Masashi Aihara, president, MTMUS. “We are fully committed to this project and we can now see the beginning of our new campus taking shape. Soon, we will be proud to say ‘built in Alabama with pride.’”

Fun Facts

Some of the construction highlights include:

• 3.0 million cubic yards of dirt graded for site preparation. This is enough dirt to fill the Empire State Building twice!
• 150,000 cubic yards of gravel poured to create the plant foundation, equal to filling 46 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
• 2,500 construction workers projected to be on site by late summer 2019.
