Huntsville Toyota plant to start making face shields

Today 8:49 AM

By Paul Gattis | pgattis@al.com

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama is back at work, so to speak.

The Huntsville plant, which employs more than 1,300 people, is part of a Toyota-wide shutdown of manufacturing facilities across North America because of the coronavirus pandemic.

But the Toyota plant in Huntsville said Thursday that it will begin producing thousands of face shields for healthcare workers.

"With our plant idled, Toyota Alabama is eager to contribute our expertise and know-how to help quickly bring to market the equipment needed to combat COVID -19," the company said in a statement.
