Honda expansion to create 600 jobs across three states
- November 9, 2004
- News Release
- Assembly and Joining
Honda has announced plans to build a $100 million plant in the city of Tallapoosa, Ga., 40 miles west of Atlanta, to produce automatic transmissions as part of a broader North American powertrain strategy. The plan also includes significant investments to add production of high-precision gears at a Honda transmission plant in Ohio and key engine components at a Honda engine facility in Alabama. In all, Honda will invest $270 million and create 600 jobs across three states.
In Georgia, Honda will invest $100 million to construct its 13th plant in North America, a new 250,000 sq. ft. plant that will begin assembly of automatic transmissions in fall 2006. At full capacity, the plant will employ 400 associates and produce 300,000 transmissions per year.
In Ohio, Honda will invest $100 million and add 100 new jobs to expand Honda Transmission Mfg. of America Inc. (HTM) in a move that will result in the transfer of the value-added production of high-precision gears from Japan to Ohio. As the new Georgia plant begins production, HTM gradually will shift responsibility for transmission production for the Alabama plant to the new Georgia plant and phase-in the new responsibility for gear production.
In Alabama, Honda of America (HMA) will invest $70 million and add 100 new jobs to begin machining additional engine components at its existing engine plant operations.
Honda recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first U.S. manufacturing plant, Sept. 10, 2004.
