We believe that our associates are the reason why Honda is known for excellent quality. Each of the five major Ohio Honda manufacturing plants – and the associates who work there – has a unique story to tell. Some of these stories might surprise you.
Honda of America Mfg. Operations
Anna Engine Plant

Anna Engine Plant
The largest Honda auto engine plant in the world has continually increased its "made from scratch" capabilities since it opened in 1985 - more than 15 million engines ago. Learn more about the 1.1 million four- and six-cylinder engines it produces annually along with the precision parts that go into those engines.
East Liberty Auto Plant

East Liberty Auto Plant
The Honda Element is made in a plant that's a lot like the vehicle - unconventional. Every plant department has embraced environmental ideas that might seem a bit far out – like toilets that use recycled blue water. Built in 1989, the plant produces popular vehicles including the Civic, the Element and CR-V. The East Liberty Plant also produces the natural gas Civic GX. Learn more about this industry leading facility.
Marysville Auto Plant

Marysville Auto Plant
The first Japanese auto plant in America wasn't designed to become a monument to risk-taking, although there was plenty around in 1982 when the first Honda Accord came off the line. Today the plant produces a diverse lineup of vehicles including the Honda Accord Sedan and Coupe, the Acura RDX and the Acura TL. Learn more about this highly flexible manufacturing facility.
Marysville Motorcycle Plant

Marysville Motorcycle Plant
Making a motorcycle for Honda is like chiseling a sculpture. It's an art form and nearly every bike is unique. Understanding the world of Honda means understanding the "motorcycle roots" of the company. The Marysville Motorcycle Plant began operation in 1979, and today produces the VTX and class-leading Gold Wing motorcycles. Learn more about this remarkable facility.
Other Honda Ohio Operations
American Honda Midwest Consolidation Center

American Honda Midwest Consolidation Center
The Troy, Ohio warehouse was established in 1982 to provide service parts to Honda dealers in the region. With an expansion in 2007, it blossomed into the giant regional American Honda Midwest Consolidation Center employing over 100 people. The operation replenishes parts and materials for nine other Honda distribution centers throughout the United States.
The expansion reflected Honda's growing sales in the United States. Parts and components for cars, trucks, motorcycles and power equipment – from Honda's plants, as well as those of supplier companies – are consolidated here.
The Midwest Consolidation Center sits on 58 acres adjacent to Interstate 75 and contains half a million square feet of warehouse space. The facility has been designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Honda Engineering North America

Honda Engineering North America designs and builds the tooling used to produce our unique, high-quality vehicles. Learn more about the state-of-the-art machinery and equipment built by this skilled team of engineers.
Honda R&D Americas – Ohio Center

Honda R & D America
Where are Honda and Acura vehicles built? Nearly 80% of those sold in America are built domestically. Where are they designed? More than a third are designed in the Buckeye State by a talented team of engineers.
Honda's R&D capabilities in America predate U.S. manufacturing by several years. The company realized early that the creativity and ingenuity of Americans could be put to use designing products for the American market – and people around the world who like American-styled products.
The newest part of Honda's research and development center in Raymond, Ohio is a $30 million crash-test center, yet the total investment by Honda in the research campus exceeds half a billion dollars. You're familiar with some of the products designed there – the Honda Ridgeline pickup, the Honda Element, the Honda Civic Si and many others.
By being near Honda's parts purchasing operations and the manufacturing plants, Honda designers and engineers can have a big say in how our cars and trucks come together – and benefit from the workplace wisdom of our associates and supplier companies.
