Woodstock's Toyota Manufacturing Base

Woodstock is home to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada's Oxford Plant — the primary Canadian production site for the RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid, and one of only two Toyota assembly facilities in Ontario. The plant anchors a dense network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers throughout Oxford County, all producing precision components with strict handling and packaging requirements. Nearby, the CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll adds further automotive supply chain activity to the corridor. At the intersection of Highway 401 and Highway 403, Woodstock is also a natural freight hub for cargo moving between Southwestern Ontario and the rest of the country.

At Argos Crating, we build crates for the precision tooling, production equipment, and industrial cargo that moves through Woodstock's automotive supply chain — engineered for the specific item and its destination.
