Honda today honored 32 suppliers that provide indirect products and services to Honda operations across the U.S., including Honda automobile manufacturing and powersports plants. The 32 companies receiving awards were selected from more than 6,000 North American indirect procurement suppliers that provide a wide variety of equipment, products and services that support Honda's U.S. business operations and the manufacturing of automobiles, engines, powersports products and transmissions in America.
The 32 suppliers were selected for achievements in the award category of Challenging Spirit.

These exemplary honorees represent the extensive network of North American suppliers critical to Honda's U.S. business operations.
