The move aligns with Honda’s long-term strategy to strengthen its manufacturing base in the Philippines.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorized the merger of motorcycle maker Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) and Honda Parts Manufacturing Corporation (HPMC) on February 11, 2026, with HPI emerging as the new company. With the SEC’s clearance, the two businesses will function as one cohesive entity, with all activities merged under HPI, starting on April 1, 2026.
Honda’s long-term strategy in the Philippines is supported by the merger, which unifies the production of parts and car assembly under a single company. Honda hopes to increase manufacturing flexibility, boost operational efficiency, and better meet the rising demand for power goods and bikes by merging these businesses.
“This merger is an important step in building a stronger Honda organization in the Philippines. By unifying our manufacturing and parts operations, we are strengthening our ability to operate more efficiently while continuing to contribute to Philippine society,” said Takeshi Kobayashi, President of HPI.
This effort also reinforces Honda’s long-standing presence in the country and its collaboration with local suppliers, partners, and institutions. With a more streamlined organizational structure, Honda is positioned to maintain the quality, reliability, and consistency expected by its customers and stakeholders.
The HPI–HPMC merger’s conclusion demonstrates Honda’s dedication to sustainable operations and long-term growth in the Philippine market.
