March 26, 2012 - Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (HATC), the
Honda automobile production subsidiary in Thailand (headquarter in the
Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya), today resumed production of
automobiles after suspending production since October 4, 2011, due to
the damage sustained from the flooding in Thailand.
Since completing the drainage of the flood water at the end of
November 2011, HATC had been exerting company-wide efforts to clean,
inspect, repair and replace plant facilities and manufacturing
equipment, which were damaged by the flood. After approximately four
months of such restoration efforts, HATC is now ready to resume
automobile productions at its plant. HATC is planning to hold a ceremony
on March 31, 2012 to commemorate the resumption of production.
Honda has been supplying automobiles alternatively from Japan to some
countries in the Asia Oceania Region including Thailand, which were
impacted by the disruption of production due to the flooding. However,
as of today, all production plants have resumed production and are
expected to normalize in April. For all other Honda production
operations outside of the Asia Oceania Region, the impact of the
flooding in Thailand has already been resolved.
Positioning HATC as one of the most important production operations
in the Asia/Oceania Region, Honda was totally committed to realizing the
earliest possible recovery. Honda will maintain the same positioning of
HATC in the future and further promote business operations in Thailand.
