Toyota Motor Corp resumed production June 28 at its plant in Guangzhou, capital city of Guangzhou Province in south China, after its key parts supplier restarted its production following a strike, said the Japanese automaker.

Japan's second biggest automaker halted its production due to a labor dispute at parts manufacturer Denso Corp.'s local factory. The five-day strike ended last Friday after an agreement was reached between management and workers, a Denso spokesman said.

Toyota said production of 4,700 vehicles was affected due to the four-day suspension.

A Toyota representative said the company is thinking about how to recover losses.

Toyota's production in China increased 18 percent in May.
