Built From the Ground Up in the U.S.

Honda's journey in America began humbly in 1959 with a small storefront sales office in Southern California. Over a decade later, Honda committed further to its American future by establishing research operations in 1975. By 1979, production was already underway in Ohio—signaling a shift from selling in the U.S. to building in the U.S. Fast-forward to today, and Honda has invested more than $25.7 billion across the country, spanning 12 manufacturing facilities.

But the company’s most valuable investment has always been in people. Honda’s approach empowers its U.S.-based associates to innovate boldly—from the research labs and design studios to the manufacturing floors. Today, the next generation of Honda mobility products—cars, motorcycles, marine engines, aircraft, and more—are being envisioned, engineered, and assembled in America.

Creating Jobs That Drive the Nation

Honda is a major employer in the U.S., with more than 30,000 associates working across various fields, including manufacturing, engineering, sales, research and development, and finance. The company's footprint doesn't stop there. Honda's presence indirectly supports thousands of additional jobs across the economy—from suppliers and logistics partners to retail dealerships and service centers.

Manufacturing Vehicles Where Americans Drive Them

Honda’s American manufacturing legacy began in 1982 when the first Honda Accord rolled off the line in Marysville, Ohio. Since then, Honda has assembled over 32 million vehicles and 38 million engines in the U.S. In 2024, nearly two-thirds of all Honda vehicles sold in the country were made here, using a blend of domestic and global parts.

Today, Honda operates seven automotive and powertrain manufacturing plants in the U.S., some of which include:

California:

• American Honda Motor Co., Inc. Headquarters
• 2,600 associates
• $1.9 billion in capital investment
• 6 R&D facilities
• 3 parts centers
• Finance center

North Carolina:

• 1,500 associates
• $1.1 billion in capital investment
• 3 manufacturing facilities
• 3 R&D facilities

Ohio:

• 15,400 associates
• $15.2 billion in capital investment
• 5 manufacturing plants
• 4 R&D facilities
• 2 parts centers

These are just a few examples; Honda also produces in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Indiana.

Pioneering the Next Generation of Vehicles

Honda continues to evolve its American operations with an eye toward the future of mobility. In 2023, the company announced over $1 billion in investments to upgrade and retool three of its major plants in Ohio. These facilities will serve as hubs for Honda’s transition to electric vehicles and advanced powertrain systems.

This transformation begins with the all-new Acura RSX, leading Honda's EV production in Ohio. Soon after, the company will start global production of its innovative Honda 0 Series models—vehicles that represent a leap forward in design, performance, and sustainability.

Honda’s flexible production approach is designed to share EV knowledge and expertise across its American and international facilities, strengthening its global competitiveness while reinforcing its local commitment.

Supporting American Communities Through Supply Chains

Beyond Honda's facilities, a network of American suppliers plays a critical role in the company's manufacturing success. These suppliers provide essential parts and materials for vehicle production and after-sales service, supporting thousands of additional jobs nationwide.

As part of Honda's highly integrated North American supply chain, these partnerships ensure timely delivery, high quality, and localized production capabilities—all essential in today's fast-evolving auto industry.

Final Thoughts

From humble beginnings to high-tech manufacturing, Honda's American story is one of steady growth, deep commitment, and community investment. Whether creating high-quality jobs, leading innovation in electric vehicles, or building strong supplier relationships, Honda's footprint is firmly planted in U.S. soil—and its future is being built right here, by and for Americans.
