History

Toyota's presence in the Philippines dates back to 1962 when Delta Motor Corporation, a company established by Ricardo C. Silverio Sr., acquired the rights to assemble and distribute Toyota vehicles for the Philippine market. Delta Motor Corporation collapsed during the Philippine economic downturn in the early 1980s. Operations came to a halt in December 1983 and by March 1984, Toyota's tie-up with Delta Motor Corporation was terminated. The company was dissolved by 1988.

When Toyota Motor Corporation president Shoichiro Toyoda came looking for a new partner in the Philippines, he sought out Dr. George S. K. Ty, and on August 3, 1988, TMPC was incorporated as a joint-venture among Metrobank, Toyota Motor Corporation and Mitsui & Co.

In 1994, TMPC captured its first "Triple Crown": No.1 in Total Sales, Passenger Car Sales and Commercial Vehicle Sales. It has continued its Triple Crown run up to the present, garnering 19 consecutive Triple Crowns as of 2019.

In April 1997, TMPC opened its Sta. Rosa Assembly Plant complementing the operations at the Bicutan Assembly Plant (formerly, the Delta Motor Corporation assembly plant). In 2003, TMPC's Sta. Rosa Industrial Complex is certified as an economic zone by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority.

The Bicutan Assembly Plant was closed in 2005 and all production was moved to Santa Rosa, Laguna.
