The Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio, which began production in 1982, serves as the birthplace for some of Acura’s most celebrated models. With 4,700 skilled associates and a capital investment of $5.4 billion, this facility represents Acura’s commitment to American craftsmanship and precision engineering.
