With our colleagues at Sanoh France preparing to start the production of Toyota Yaris parts in autumn 2019, members our own Sanoh UK team have been working tirelessly over the past few months to create the tools they will need.
The Sanoh UK Engineering Centre have applied their considerable skill, experience and knowledge to buil four dedicated bending machines, which were despatched to Sanoh France's Valenciennes factory near the Belgian border in April.
More tool parts will be supplied in August with mass production starting later this year.
"The building of the Yaris machines represented one of the biggest challenges that the Engineering team have taken on," said Anthony Roberts of Sanoh UK. "The team had to consider a number of new problems during the build and I am very proud with the way they came together to overcome them."
David Desmis of Sanoh France commented: "Anthony and his team have done a very impressive job with these machines. We are looking forward to seeing them running and producing parts for Toyota Europe."
