Secretary of State Diego Morales toured the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana plant in the Greater Evansville area of Gibson County Tuesday morning.

The Auto Dealer Services Division is one of the four divisions under the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office.  The process of manufacturing, selling, or salvaging a vehicle is regulated by the Auto Dealer Services Division.

Secretary Morales has continually visited auto dealers, auto manufacturing facilities, and other industry plants across the state, including Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, and General Motors Fort Wayne Assembly Plant.  All these plants are major economic drivers to our state and constant partners throughout our communities.

In addition, Secretary Morales also visited the Volkswagen facility while in Dresden, Germany.


“The Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana plant was a remarkably well-run operation.  This auto manufacturing plant and others throughout the Hoosier state are a vital source of jobs and uphold an impressive vision on future innovation.  I aim to keep building meaningful relationships within the auto industry and ensure that they know of their partner within the Secretary of State’s Office,” said Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales.

The Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana plant in Gibson County has created more than 7,500 jobs and just last year assembled more than 360,000 vehicles.

Secretary Morales thanks officials with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana plant for the tour and their commitment to the Hoosier state.
