Toyota's Second Business Center in Wrocław

Toyota Digital Hub is the company's second business operation in Wrocław. Since 2015, the city has also been home to Toyota's Shared Services Center, which provides accounting support and tax advisory services for the company's European operations. The center currently employs around 120 people.

Beyond Wrocław, Toyota operates two manufacturing plants in Lower Silesia one in Wałbrzych, established in 2002, and another in Jelcz-Laskowice, opened in 2005. These facilities currently produce engines and components for hybrid vehicles.

According to Marcin Król, Senior HR Manager at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Poland, the decision to establish the Digital Hub in Wrocław was a strategic one.

"We chose Wrocław because it has established itself as one of Poland's leading hubs for both IT and research and development. The city ranks among the country's top locations in these fields, and its education system is closely aligned with the needs of business—something that is extremely important to Toyota." Król explained.

Grant Agreement with the Polish Government

The opening ceremony also included the signing of a grant agreement under the Programme for Supporting Investments of Significant Importance to the Polish Economy for 2011–2030.

The agreement was signed on behalf of the Polish government by Michał Jaros, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Development and Technology, and on behalf of Toyota by Shinichi Yasui, Executive Vice President of Toyota Motor Europe.
