Macrium Software, a specialised provider of backup and recovery solutions for manufacturing and critical infrastructure, has been selected by Honda Motor Co to strengthen the resilience of its US manufacturing operations.
The collaboration will enable consistent recovery readiness across Honda’s critical production environments throughout the US. The manufacturer will leverage Macrium’s SiteBackup for centralised backup management and use the Technician’s Licence to protect air-gapped devices, standardising protection across Honda’s manufacturing network.
“In manufacturing environments, every minute of downtime carries real consequences,” said Dave Joyce, CEO at Macrium Software. “Our focus with Honda is ensuring that their critical systems can be restored quickly and consistently across facilities, removing unnecessary complexity. Given Honda’s meticulous engineering standards and commitment to quality, we’re honoured that Honda chose Macrium after a rigorous and open selection process to help protect their critical systems and recover quickly when it matters most.”
News of the partnership comes shortly after Macrium released its 2026 Benchmark Report, conducted in partnership with independent research agency, NewtonX. The report reveals that, despite widespread investment in backup and recovery technologies, manufacturers are struggling to close a widening ‘recovery gap’ that is costing them upwards of US$100,000 per hour in downtime. It also revealed that 74% of manufacturers experience downtime at least once per year, underscoring the need for tried and tested recovery strategies to match rapidly changing operational technology environments.
