The new organisation will comprise:

  • A Nordic and Baltic regional operation managed by Malmo based Svenska Honda (Honda Sweden) with the responsibility for supporting sales operations in the region.
  • Representative offices, to support sales operations concentrating their efforts on the retail operation and the dealer/customer interface.
  • Existing independent distributors becoming retail operations.

    Honda’s second European car plant, located alongside the existing plant at Swindon UK, will start production in the summer of 2001. The combined manufacturing capacity of the two plants will be 250,000 per annum and this is expected to be achieved by the financial year ending 31st March 2003.

    In October 1999 Honda started the re-organisation of its European operations, with the creation of three regions, to increase the effectiveness of its business and to make better use of the resources within its operations.
