FYI, the HS520A (pull start) and the HS520AS (electric start) snow throwers are built in Swepsonville, North Carolina. The plant was built in 1984, and produces all the Honda mowers sold in the USA, as well as string trimmers, our Mini 4-stroke tiller, and over a
million general-purpose small gas engines (for use on pressure washers, log splitters, and yes, even other brands of lawn mowers).
Just sayin'
Caveat: I work for Honda, but the preceding was my opinion alone.
