Japan Major Japan Manufacturing Facilities http://hondanews.com/digitalfactbook 9.4 Company Products Started Size (sq. meters) Capacity Saitama Factory The Sayama Plant is Honda’s primary auto plant and is located in suburban Tokyo. The plant has two production lines that carry out a complete range of functions — from body production to final assembly — in a limited space. The assembly line is surrounded by production equipment in an efficient flow of production processes. The Sayama plant also produces automobile engines. Synchronous production of bodies and engines achieves higher manufacturing efficiency. Suzuka Factory The Suzuka Factory has auto plant, engine plant and IMA motor production line. Every element of auto production is conducted in the factory, with a uniform, integrated production system enabling the simultaneous mass production of a large number of models without sacrificing quality. The plant will add production of mini-vehicles in 2012 and will establish manufacturing technologies that contribute to the effort to reduce the bodyweight and cost of Honda’s next-generation models produced locally and globally. Hamamatsu Factory Hamamatsu Plant Hamamatsu is the “birthplace” of Honda — the Honda Technical Research Institute was founded there in 1948. The Hamamatsu Plant was re-focused on the production of automatic transmissions after ending motorcycle production in 2008. An all new Hamamatsu Plant started production in August 2010 as Honda’s lead plant globally for production of automatic transmissions, increasing production capacity by 700,000 units to 800,000 transmissions annually. Hosoe Plant The Hosoe Plant produces a variety of outboard engines ranging from small 2HP engines to V-6 225HP engines. The Hosoe Plant is also the benchmark for environmental responsibility for Honda’s next-generation manufacturing plant. Kumamoto Factory The Kumamoto Factory, located on the southern island of Kyushu, sits on the largest land site of any Honda plant in Japan — nearly 1.8 million square meters. In April 2008, Honda transferred the production of motorcycles from the original Kumamoto plant to a new, state-of-the-art motorcycle plant on the grounds of the Kumamoto Factory. The new plant incorporates numerous advanced environmental features including a solar panel system and the efficient use of natural light. In addition to motorcycles, Kumamoto produces lawn tractors and motorcycle engines and components. Tochigi Factory The Tochigi Factory produces parts for both automobiles and motorcycles including engine parts such as crankshafts, cylinder heads and intake and exhaust valves, and suspension and drive train parts.
