Where are Toyota Camrys manufactured?
Toyota Camrys are manufactured in multiple plants around the world, with the largest production site for the North American market located in Georgetown, Kentucky, USA.
The United States manufacturing hub
In the United States, the primary Camry assembly line serves the North American market from a single, dedicated facility. The following location is the central site for Camry production in the U.S.
- Georgetown, Kentucky — Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky (TMMK) produces Camry models for the North American market and has been a core Camry site for decades.
The Georgetown plant has long been the mainstay of Camry production in the United States, handling the majority of U.S.-bound Camrys and related models.
Global production footprint
Beyond the United States, Camry production has occurred in several other regions to supply local markets. The following markets have hosted local assembly or have imported Camry models from overseas production networks.
- Japan — Camry assembly for the domestic market and potential exports has occurred across various Toyota plants in Japan.
- China — Camry is produced by Toyota’s Chinese joint-venture operations to serve the Chinese market.
- Thailand — Camry is assembled by Toyota Motor Thailand for Southeast Asia.
- Australia — Local Camry production ended in 2017; Camrys sold there are now imported rather than manufactured domestically.
Production in these international markets reflects regional demand and global supply arrangements, and exact plant activity can change with model years and market strategies.
Hybrid variants and regional configurations
Across markets, Camry hybrid variants are typically produced alongside traditional gasoline versions at the same or nearby facilities, with regional configuration decisions guided by local regulations, supplier networks, and demand.
Summary: The Toyota Camry’s manufacturing footprint centers on Georgetown, Kentucky for the U.S. market, with additional production across Japan, China, and Thailand for regional sales, and Australia no longer producing Camrys locally. As with any global model, specific plant assignments can evolve over time based on market needs and corporate strategy.
