Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, LLC (HMIN) today marked its 10^th anniversary of automobile production at its plant in Greensburg, Indiana during a celebration with state and local government officials joining the celebration with Honda associates.
Honda began production in Indiana on October 9, 2008, producing the 4-cylinder Honda Civic Sedan with 1,000 associates on one shift. Today, HMIN operates two shifts with more than 2,500 associates producing the Honda Civic Sedan and CR-V – two of the industry's best-selling vehicles – as well as the all-new 2019 Honda Insight, a hybrid sedan. Cumulative production at HMIN is more than 1.8 million vehicles.
"This milestone is the result of the commitment our Honda associates in Indiana have made every day over the past decade to build products of the highest quality for our customers," said Isao Matsuzaki, president at HMIN. "Indiana is our home and with the strong support of our local communities, the state and beyond, we are excited about our future here in Greensburg."
Honda announced plans to build an auto plant in Greensburg in June 2006, breaking ground for the new plant in March 2007.  HMIN added a second shift of production in October 2011, doubling its production capacity to 200,000 vehicles per year. Today, HMIN has the capacity to produce 250,000 vehicles annually.
"Since launching production a decade ago today, Honda has had a lasting positive impact on the city of Greensburg, the southeast region and the entire state, helping propel our workforce and strengthen Indiana's reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse," said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger. "With more than 290 Japanese business facilities in Indiana, we are proud of the friendships we have established with companies like Honda and look forward to even more milestones ahead. Congratulations on 10 years of excellence and thank you for your commitment to our state."
