The 28 suppliers were selected from more than 6,000 North American suppliers that provide a wide variety of
equipment, products and services that support Honda’s U.S. business operations and the manufacturing of
automobiles, engines, transmissions, powersports and power equipment products in America.
The awardees were selected for achievements in the categories of Supplier of the Year, Regional Supplier of the Year,
New Supplier, Sustainability, Challenging Spirit and Outstanding Value. These honorees represent an extensive network
of North American suppliers critical to Honda’s U.S. business operations. In 2022, indirect purchasing for

“The relationships we have with our suppliers are very important to Honda and having strong collaboration
creates a better working environment for all of us,” said Matt Daniel, Department Lead of Strategic Planning
& Transformation within North American Indirect Procurement Division. “The relationships with our suppliers
are critical in establishing effective business partnerships that deliver results both for Honda and our suppliers.
The suppliers that we honored this week are a big reason that we are confident about what lies ahead for us.”
The suppliers providing equipment, products and services to Honda are local, national and global in scope. This
