Established in 1985 as a small 200,000 square-foot plant with 94 production associates, AEP has evolved through a series of investments totaling $2.9 billion into a facility of more than 2.8 million square feet, employing 2900 associates. Production operations range from ferrous casting, high-pressure die-casting and machining to heat treating and assembly. Honda claims that AEP is “one of the industry’s most comprehensive and interconnected powertrain facilities.”

AEP produces a variety of components, including cylinder sleeves and heads, camshafts and crankshafts for Honda engines, as well as the high-precision pulleys used in the continuously variable transmission (CVT) produced at the nearby Honda Transmission in Ohio also using domestic and globally made parts.
