Toluca Car Assembly is a 220 acre [1] Chrysler automobile factory in Toluca, State of Mexico, Mexico. It opened in 1968. Toluca Stamping is located nearby.

DaimlerChrysler announced a US$1 billion investment[1] in the plant in March 2006 designed around creating a sophisticated flexible manufacturing system (FMS) that allows simultaneous production of vehicles of differing platforms.
