Jun. 19—GREENSBURG — Honda Indiana Auto Plant (IAP) is celebrating 15 years of manufacturing in Greensburg this year.
To kick off the year-long celebration, IAP appointed Decatur County native Roxanna Metz plant lead with responsibility for overall vehicle manufacturing operations. In this role, Metz leads more than 2,600 associates at the plant who produce the Honda Civic Hatchback, CR-V and CR-V hybrid.

Over her 15-year tenure, she has held many different roles including manager of Parts Quality Department, manufacturing quality cross-functional leader, manager of Paint and Plastics Department, manager of Manufacturing Control Department, and division lead of the Manufacturing Planning and Control Division.
Metz's strong leadership and passion for manufacturing has contributed to the success of Honda's Greensburg operations.
"I am so excited that I have been given this opportunity to lead the IAP team," Metz said. "I have been part of the Decatur County community my entire life and I have a deep-rooted passion for connecting to our local, regional and state communities. I want to see IAP continue to grow our community connection partnerships."
Metz continues to make her mark on Honda's history as the first woman to take the helm at IAP.
"This is an amazing place to grow, learn and build a career. If you have passion and a challenging spirit, you can grow your dreams at Honda," she said.
In addition to her role at Honda, Metz serves on the Board of Directors for the Economic Development Corporation of Greensburg/Decatur County and served on the Board of Directors for the Greensburg-Decatur County Chamber of Commerce from 2016 to 2018.
