The largest Japanese manufacturer Toyota is an actual automobile giant that combines the Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu and Scion brands. In the year 2005, their combined sales reached an incredible 6,78 million vehicles and therefore, placed Toyota as the second largest manufacturer in the world. This success was largely due to the good reputation of Toyota vehicles well known for their quality and reliability. Toyota is not only a term used among customers but also among specialists of the automobile industry. The manufacturing system based on ingenious organized work, highly efficient and uncompromising quality that Toyota put in effect 50 years ago is an inspiration for all other manufacturers. Apart from the 12 manufacturing factories in Japan, Toyota manages 52 factories in 27 countries of the world including the Czech Republic.

PSA Peugeot Citroën Company is a significant player in the world of the automobile industry. Its force is fuelled by the traditional European brands Peugeot and Citroën that are combined under the wings of one company but each have its own cover and style. In the past five years, both companies experienced a sharp rise in sales that belong to one of the highest climbs in the automobile industry. This success is due to the attractive design, technological advances and the ability to respond to the customer’s requests. Due to the increased interest in vehicles from the PSA Peugeot Citroën manufacturing company, the company expanded to Central and Eastern Europe. The purpose was not only to strengthen the business market but also to build new production capacities. Aside from the TPCA project, the PSA Peugeot Citroën Company is also building a new producing factory in the Slovak Republic’s Trnava.
