40 Years of Honda Manufacturing in North America

Honda will mark its 40th anniversary of manufacturing products in North America in Sept. 2019. Honda was the first Japanese automaker to produce products in the region, beginning with motorcycles in 1979, followed by the start of automobile production in Marysville, Ohio, on Nov. 1, 1982.

Over the course of four decades, Honda has steadily grown its manufacturing capabilities in the region. Honda now employs more than 35,000 associates at 19 plants in North America with the capacity to produce more than 1.92 million automobiles, four million engines, 400,000 power equipment products and 330,000 powersports products each year, using domestic and globally sourced parts. In 2018, more than 90 percent of all Honda and Acura automobiles sold in the U.S. were made in North America, using domestic and globally sourced parts.

Honda also manufactures the HondaJet advanced light jet and GE Honda HF120 turbofan engines in America.
