MARYSVILLE, Ohio, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Honda honored
61 North American suppliers for their performance and perseverance
in supplying parts and materials during 2020. The suppliers earned
awards for supporting Honda with mass production parts and
materials, as well as service parts that serve the needs of
customers after their purchase of a Honda or Acura product.
Honda purchased $27 billion in
parts for mass production from North American suppliers in 2020,
which supported the sales of more than 1.3 million Honda and Acura
vehicles in North America last
year. Honda also purchased approximately $1
billion in parts from its Service Parts suppliers in
North America.
Honda recognizes suppliers with awards during its annual Honda
Supplier Conference, held each spring for over 35 years. Placing
the highest priority on the health and safety of Honda associates
and business partners during the COVID-19 pandemic, Honda conducted
the conference this year as a virtual event.
"The COVID-19 pandemic challenged our suppliers in ways we could
never have imagined, but through their incredible effort, our
supply team helped keep Honda plants running to meet the needs of
our customers," said Mark
Willoughby, vice president of procurement at Honda
Development and Manufacturing of America. "The teamwork that has
been so important over the past year will continue to be vital to
our business in the days ahead as we get our plants back to a
normal production cadence."
"On behalf of the entire service parts team, we offer our
sincere thanks and appreciation for the support received from our
suppliers over the past year to help Honda continue to serve our
customers," said Mark Wiles, parts
division assistant vice president at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
"Congratulations to the 2020 service parts award winners on their
outstanding performance, despite the many supply chain
challenges."
