Pryce Congratulates Honda
on 25 Years in Ohio

Congresswoman Deborah Pryce (R-15) today released the following statement congratulating Honda of America on its 25^th anniversary of manufacturing in the state of Ohio:

‘Twenty-five years ago, Honda’s American dream came true when the first motorcycle rolled off the factory assembly line in Marysville, Ohio. Today, Honda is the largest automaker in the Buckeye state and employs more than 16,000 Ohioans. The company’s investment in Ohio exceeds $6 billion, and state and local tax revenues from Honda total approximately $1 billion.

Honda’s success in the United States isn’t just about financial numbers. The company's philosophy of respect for the individual is the cornerstone of its success. Placing responsibility and accountability with each associate has allowed Honda’s U.S. workforce to produce the highest quality products at an affordable price and great reliability.

Honda is also a great corporate neighbor. Honda’s involvement in the communities where its facilities are located has been another key to its success because it has treated state and local leaders as well as parts suppliers as equal partners. The company also encourages employees to be actively involved in their community. Since 1995, Honda associates have donated more than 250,000 hours for community service. Honda is a great example of a company that has invested and reinvested significant financial and human resources in its plants, equipment and associates here in the U.S.

I want to offer my congratulations to Honda on this 25 year anniversary and look forward to another 25 successful years of growth and investment in Ohio.’
