During a recent visit to Toyota’s industrial site in Argentina, Tenaris’s automotive sales team has received strong endorsement by Toyota’s management, who shared their company's supply strategy, focused on locating as many parts and components as possible to generate greater efficiencies and maintain a successful production model in Argentina over time. Last August Tenaris was chosen to supply a new welded cold drawn component for the drive shafts Dana produces for Toyota in Argentina, contributing to increase the local content of automotive parts. The contract includes the supply of 600,000 pieces per year, equivalent to 1,100 ton of pipes, for the manufacturing of drive shafts for the Toyota Hilux and SW4 pick-up trucks, assembled at the Toyota plant in Zárate. The Toyota industrial plant in the Buenos Aires district of Zárate started in 1997 with 10,000 annual units of the Hilux pickup and closed 2022 as the main automotive terminal in Argentina in production, sales and exports.
