Indiana Governor Daniels Visits Cologne May 15, 2007
Following a short presentation from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation on their activities in and around Cologne, Governor Daniels was presented with a special gift to remember his visit - a genuine Formula 1 steering wheel. Governor Daniels is visiting the city of Cologne to attract new business to Indiana, as well as visiting local companies already active in the state. As well as the upcoming United States Grand Prix, Toyota has links to the state through its manufacturing facilities in Princeton and Lafayette.
Panasonic Toyota Racing Chairman and Team Principal Tsutomu Tomita: "It has been a pleasure to welcome Governor Daniels and his party to our factory here in Cologne. There are strong ties between our home city of Cologne and Indianapolis and we are pleased to strengthen that bond by hosting Governor Daniels. We are looking forward to our own trip to Indiana nxt month for the United States Grand Prix, where we hope Governor Daniels will see Panasonic Toyota Racing celebrate a strong result."
Governor of Indiana Mitch Daniels said: "Toyota and Indiana have such a superb working relationship, and we are so pleased the company has selected our state for such important investments. This is such an impressive facility, and we look forward to seeing the racing team in action in Indianapolis."
