As part of the upgrade, Honda will hire about 300 new production line workers. Honda is now hiring for the positions, which include positions in stamping, welding, painting, plastic injection molding, sub-assembly and final assembly operations. The plant's capacity will grow to a total of 250,000 vehicles per year. Last fall, the plant added a second shift that effectively doubled its capacity.
Honda builds the Civic Sedan, Civic Natural Gas, Acura ILX, and Acura ILX Hybrid models at the Indiana plant.
