Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd

Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd is a fully integrated car manufacturing plant that currently produces over 150,000 units per year.

We are the global production hub for the 10th generation Civic, with a new vehicle rolling off the line every 69 seconds. As Honda’s European flagship factory, we employ over 3,500 associates to build and export the Civic and Civic Type R to over 70 countries worldwide.

Our Factory

Our site spans over 370 acres to the Northeast of Swindon. Having previously been an airfield, Honda bought the site in 1985 and established Honda of the UK Manufacturing. Within twelve months, the site was operational and we started carrying out pre-delivery inspections on engines.

It was realised that there was scope to build engines here on site, and by 1989 we had opened our Engine Plant. In 1992, Car Plant One became fully operational and began producing the Honda Accord. Since then we have gone on to produce the Jazz, CR-V, Civic and Type R.

In 2015, we celebrated production of our three millionth car. In 2017, we launched the tenth generation Civic and the new Civic Type R.
