Indiana Begins Mass Production of Honda Civic Sedans
Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, LLC today began mass production of the fuel-efficient, 4-cylinder Honda Civic sedan at its new facility in Greensburg, Indiana. The $550 million facility will ultimately produce 200,000 vehicles, and employ 2,000 associates at full capacity.
Nearly 900 Indiana associates have been conducting trial production for several months, refining new processes and equipment, and learning to meet Honda standards for quality, efficiency and flexibility. Today’s start up of mass production culminates several weeks of department-by-department production start-ups in stamping, welding, painting, plastic injection molding, body assembly and other areas.
Honda announced plans to build the Greensburg facility in June 2006, and broke ground for the new production facility in March 2007. I’ve driven by this plant before. Insanely huge! Go Hoosiers.
