When it began production in 1984, it was the first automotive joint venture plant in the United States. The factory was an old General Motors plant and is now a joint venture between GM and Toyota.
Currently, the NUMMI plant produces the Toyota Corolla compact car, Toyota Tacoma pickup truck and the Pontiac Vibe station wagon. In the past, it has also produced the Geo Prizm, the later Chevrolet Prizm, and the Chevrolet Nova; as well as the Toyota Voltz, the Japanese right-hand drive version of the Pontiac Vibe - both are based on the Toyota Matrix, which is manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Employment is nearly 5,000 workers.
General Motors saw this joint venture as an opportunity to learn about Lean Production from their Japanesse partners.
