Investment in America

Although Honda Engines, Power Equipment, and Marine products are produced at 11 Honda manufacturing facilities worldwide, nearly 75 percent of Honda power products sold in America are produced using domestic and globally sourced parts at the Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing, Inc. (HPE) facility in Swepsonville, North Carolina.

Opened in August 1984, HPE has a capacity of 1.5 million engines per year. In addition to engines, HPE produces Honda generators, lawn mowers, snowblowers, pumps, tillers and string trimmers.

Honda’s North Carolina Research and Development Center is an 11,000 square foot facility established in 1993 that conducts product engineering, prototype development, and testing of power equipment products.

In 1999, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. invested more than $6 million in its new Power Equipment Division headquarters in Alpharetta, GA., which oversees sales, distribution, marketing and exportation of Honda Power Equipment, Engines, and Marine products.

Currently, Honda employs nearly 27,000 people in the United States, with a U.S. capital investment of $12.1 billion.
