Honda - one of the largest and oldest Japanese automotive companies, known worldwide for its high-quality and reliable cars. The history of Honda began in 1946 when engineer Soichiro Honda founded a small workshop in Tokyo to manufacture piston rings. Within a few years, Honda became the largest supplier of piston rings for the Japanese automotive industry.
