It’s doubtful Susann Kazunas had an opportunity to fully soak in her promotion to president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas Inc. before pivoting to ensure the San Antonio campus was well positioned to secure a more than $530 million expansion commitment from its parent company.
“Project Iceberg,” as that plan was branded internally, is now a done deal. In June, the Japanese automaker confirmed it would fund the TMMTX expansion.
That decision is expected to have a significant impact on the South Side campus and on San Antonio’s auto manufacturing industry.
“Toyota continuously looks for opportunities to gain manufacturing efficiencies as part of our corporate culture and business mindset,” Kazunas said. “This project created an opportunity to streamline truck manufacturing, allowing TMMTX to be considered for this work.”
