     CELEBRATING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF HONDA'S ANNA ENGINE PLANT

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2025

  Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to commend to the House the 
extraordinary contributions made by the men and women of Honda's Anna 
Engine Plant as they mark forty years of manufacturing excellence.
  On July 22, 1985, the Anna Engine Plant in Anna, Ohio, opened with 94 
associates. Now directly employing 2,900, the facility makes engines, 
engine components, and EV battery packs for installation in vehicles 
across the Honda and Acura product lines. More than 32.5 million 
engines have been produced at the plant, which has grown to 2.8 million 
square feet and is Honda's largest engine manufacturing site in the 
world.
  The more than $2.9 billion that Honda has invested in Anna supports 
not just those 2,900, but also tens of thousands employed by Honda 
suppliers, dealers, and servicers nationwide. As the first Asian 
automaker to build products in the United States, Honda has long been 
one of our Nation's most important domestic job creators, contributing 
richly to our manufacturing base.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud of the strong role that Honda plays in my 
district and throughout Ohio. I especially applaud everyone at the Anna 
Engine Plant for their solid record of flexibility and adaptability 
that has resulted in forty years of manufacturing success in Shelby 
County. I wish for their continued excellence in the decades to come.
