The Guangzhou facility was jointly established by ADVICS and Toyota Tsusho in November, 2004. ADVICS Guangzhou will manufacture corner modules consisting of disc brakes and drum brakes. The Guangzhou facility, which has never supplied modular products, intends to establish an efficient production structure by synchronizing the production of modules with the production of the Camrys.
