The Town of New Tecumseth welcomes Honda Canada’s announcement of a $166 million capital investment in Honda of Canada Manufacturing’s Alliston operations, reinforcing the company’s longstanding commitment to our community and the future of automotive manufacturing in Ontario. The investment, part of a broader $867 million commitment, will support the production of next-generation hybrid-electric and gasoline-powered vehicles, including the reintroduction of engine manufacturing.
“For 40 years, Honda has been an important community partner and a significant part of New Tecumseth’s local economy,” said Mayor Richard Norcross. “This investment is welcome news for our community and the more than 4,000 associates who work at Honda’s Alliston operations.”
The Town also recognizes the important role of the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario in supporting this investment and the continued competitiveness of Ontario’s automotive manufacturing sector. Investments in advanced manufacturing and next-generation vehicle production help strengthen Alliston’s position as an important part of Canada’s automotive industry.
“Honda’s renewed investment in Alliston is a strong vote of confidence in our community, our skilled workforce and the future of automotive manufacturing here in New Tecumseth,” said Mayor-Elect Stephanie MacLellan. “Today’s announcement gives us good reason to be optimistic, but there is still important work ahead. We need to continue working with Honda and our provincial and federal partners to support a competitive automotive sector, protect local jobs and create the conditions for continued investment in our community.”
Honda of Canada Mfg. began production in Alliston in November 1986, becoming the first Japanese automaker to establish an automotive manufacturing facility in Canada. Today, its two Alliston facilities employ more than 4,000 associates and produce the Honda Civic and CR-V, including hybrid models. In 2025, HCM produced approximately 401,000 vehicles and celebrated the production of its 11 millionth vehicle.
The Town of New Tecumseth congratulates Honda and its associates on this next chapter and looks forward to the company’s continued investment, innovation and success in Alliston.
