Toyota Australia president Dave Buttner today reaffirmed his company’s commitment to building cars right through to its planned 2017 shutdown, with export production still a major part of that schedule.

Surrounded by international executives and industry ministers during a special ‘line-off’ ceremony for the new-look 2015 Camry at the company's Altona facility, Mr Buttner was full of praise for the assembled manufacturing team.

“It is important that I take the time to offer my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to each and every one of our valued employees, thank you for your ongoing commitment and dedication throughout this most challenging of times," he said. 

“There is no denying that today is bittersweet: the simple fact is that this will be the last car we’ll build at this facility.”

“But I have every confidence, every confidence, that this will be the best car that we have ever built. And when we achieve that goal, you will have clearly demonstrated that you are the very best.”

The average length of service for workers on Toyota's Australian assembly lines is 15 years. One worker, an 83 year-old, has been with the Japanese brand for 42 years.
