(January 9, 2023) MARYSVILLE, Ohio — Honda associates at the Marysville Auto Plant (MAP) last week celebrated the start of mass production of the all-new 2023 Honda Accord and Accord hybrid, America's best-selling car over the last five decades. The Accord has been built in Marysville since the plant opened 40 years ago in 1982, making Honda the first international automaker to successfully establish auto production in America.

“This is a proud moment for all Honda associates as we celebrate not only an all-new Honda Accord, but the storied history of the Marysville Auto Plant where Honda began auto production in the U.S. with this same nameplate 40 years ago,” said Jun Jayaraman, plant lead at MAP. “Accord’s decades-long sales success speaks to the leadership and pioneering spirit of Honda associates in Marysville who have consistently delivered high quality products for our customers over the last four decades.”
