The new company plans to be in operation by the end of the first quarter or beginning of the second quarter of 2002. Larry Keys has been hired to serve as the managing director. He was previously the managing director of Toyota Credit Argentina, and has been with TFS for 14 years. In addition to Keys, local staff will be hired to assist with the start-up of operations.
