Toyota Motor Manufacturing France

Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) in Onnaing is the French production site for the Yaris and Yaris Cross, employing about 5,000 staff and supplying vehicles across Europe. The plant reached major milestones since opening in 2001, including over 5 million cars produced and recent production records.
