Honda to Expand Ohio Transmission Plant

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Honda Transmission Manufacturing of America (Russell's Point, Ohio), a division of Honda Motor Company Limited (NYSE:HMC) (Tokyo, Japan) and the leading manufacturer of high-quality automatic transmissions for Honda and Acura cars, will build a 200,000-square-foot facility on 60 acres in Russell's Point, Ohio, adjacent to the existing Logan County transmission plant, and hire up to 100 employees. This will be the third expansion of the Russell's Point plant since 2006.

Honda invested $100 million in 2006 and 2007 to add 363,000 square feet to the facility for the production of high-precision gears and four-wheel-drive components. The company has filed for a zoning change in Logan County as the first step in continuing the expansion, which is proposed to begin in December 2010 and to be completed within a few years.

Honda Transmission Manufacturing of America chose Barton Malow Company (Southfield, Michigan) to complete the construction of the 200,000-square-foot expansion. Barton Malow provides construction management, design-build, program management, general contracting, technology and rigging services throughout North America.

The Logan County plant, which now has about 1,050 workers, produces transmissions for a wide variety of Honda models, including the Accord and CR-V.
