After the massive flooding in Thailand that affected Honda’s North American part supply flow, the auto giant decided to resume normal production at its Ontario plants in December.
“While the severe flooding in Thailand continues to have some impact to our parts supply, Honda has been working closely with its suppliers to fully re-establish the flow of parts for the products made in North America,” said a statement posted on Honda’s website this Monday.
Although 92 percent of Honda and Acura products are made in North America, some important electrical parts are imported from Thailand and other countries.
Floods in Thailand that have lasted for over a month continue to put pressure on international manufacturers like Honda that rely on their plants in that region for continuous production.
In late October, six of Honda’s plants in Canada and the U.S. had to cut down production by 50 percent and the plants experienced non-production days. The company, however, did not have any layoffs.
