Honda: No clarity when to resume production

 Honda suspended production of its facility in Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya, on Oct 4 as some component suppliers were flooded. On Oct 8, the facility was suspended on floods.

 In a statement that provides the latest update on its operations in Thailand, the company said that other Honda plants in Asia have been making adjustments to production volume or suspending production due to the limited parts supply from Thailand. Honda operations in other regions also are being impacted by the limited parts supply from Thailand. Each operation is carefully examining the situation. 

Meanwhile, it announced that the motorcycle and power products subsidiary, Thai Honda Manufacturing Co Ltd, will suspend production until November 4.  The facility was spared from floods but motorcycle and power product product production was suspended on Oct 11 and Oct 6, respectively, due to parts supply disruptions.

"Concerning operations from today onward, Honda will make decisions while carefully monitoring the situation. Honda deeply regrets any inconvenience this may cause our customers, and request their understanding during these challenging times. Honda and its suppliers are devoting all our efforts to minimise the impact on our customers."
