In 2017, Honda reached a major milestone, with nearly 70% of its U.S. auto sales being manufactured in the United States. Over 23.6 million Honda and Acura vehicles have been produced in the U.S. since 1982, and more than 25 million in North America as a whole.
"The production of 30 million automobiles in North America is the result of the support we have received from our customers and the communities that serve as a strong foundation of our operations in North America," said Takuji Yamada, president of Honda North America, Inc. "This is an incredible achievement by Team Honda - including the tremendous dedication and teamwork of our associates, past and present, together with our suppliers, dealers and business partners - all focused on creating joy for our customers."
Honda was the first Japanese automaker to produce automobiles in the United States. Beginning with its first plant in Marysville, Ohio in 1979, Honda manufacturing has expanded to 12 plants nationwide, including East Liberty, Ohio; Marysville, Ohio; Anna, Ohio; Russells Point, Ohio; Lincoln, Alabama.; Greensburg, Indiana; Greensboro, North Carolina; Burlington, North Carolina; Swepsonville, North Carolina; Timmonsville, South Carolina; and Tallapoosa, Georgia.
29 Honda and Acura vehicle models have been designed and developed in the U.S. since 1991. Ohio-built Acura models include the MDX and RDX (East Liberty Auto Plant), ILX and TLX (Marysville Auto Plant), and Acura's next-generation supercar, the NSX (Marysville Performance Manufacturing Center).
Eleven state-of-the-art facilities in six Ohio communities contribute to Acura's revenue, including the production of engines, transmissions, cars, light trucks, service, parts and materials as well as research and development.
