Honda Suspending Production Starting March 23

The short-term plan will affect over 2,500 employees at the Greensburg facility.

(Greensburg, Ind.) – One of the largest employers in southeastern Indiana is suspending production.

Honda announced Wednesday that it will adjust production at all of its automobile production plants in North America beginning Monday, March 23. That includes the Greensburg facility, which employs over 2,500 associates.

Production will be suspended for at least six days due to an anticipated decline in market demand related to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Honda will reduce production by approximately 40,000 vehicles during the six-day suspension of production.

Honda released the following statement:

“As the market impact of the fast-changing COVID-19 situation evolves, Honda will continue to evaluate conditions and make additional adjustments as necessary. In undertaking this production adjustment, Honda is continuing to manage its business carefully through a measured approach to sales that aligns production with market demand.

During this time, Honda will continue full pay for all of its associates. Approximately 27,600 Honda associates in North America will be affected by this temporary suspension of production. In addition, Honda will utilize this time to continue deep cleaning of its production facilities and common areas to further protect associates upon their return to the plants.

This production adjustment also will allow Honda associates to better prepare and adjust family plans in relation to regional directives to close schools to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This will enable working parents to determine how best to manage the needs of children staying home from school and other required lifestyle adjustments.”
