Honda NC Facility Shuts Down Temporarily
Honda Power Equipment Mfg., Inc. (HPE) announced on March 25 that it is adjusting production at its plant in Swepsonville, NC.

HPE makes a variety of power equipment products, including general purpose engines, lawnmowers, water pumps, snow throwers, generators and mini-tillers.
Honda will continue to monitor the availability of supplier parts, evaluate conditions and make additional adjustments as necessary. HPE will continue full pay for all of its associates and contingent workers during this time. Approximately 29,400 Honda production associates in North America are affected by the temporary suspension.
