Honda just annouced they are building an assembly plant in Indiana. Great news after some of the hits we have taken recently.

550 million dollar plant, at least 1500 24 dph jobs.

Boorah.

That's good news to hear, we had our share of auto plant closing here in Jersey the past few years, maybe they'll open or reopen one of the recently closed plants here.

You're not leaving the foundry to go work for Honda are you?

Nah,

I think working on an assembly line would cut into my Big A time...
Actually, a Japanese auto parts company is our largest customer now. You can't buy a Honda or a Toyota that doesn't have at lesat one of our castings on it.
