·        The Anna Engine Plant is continuing the localization of its
components production with new investments in coming months that will total
nearly $170 million.

·        These projects will include building expansions and renovations
within the plant to add a fourth engine assembly line and to increase the
production of pulley components for continuously variable transmissions
(CVTs).

·        The new, highly automated engine assembly line will increase
flexibility to manufacture engines for Honda and Acura products.

·        These projects will create approximately 200 new jobs at the Anna
Engine Plant.

·        Construction for these projects will begin over the next few
months.
