Since the early 1990s we have transformed our activities in Europe. After establishing successful sales operations we decided to set up local manufacturing operations to build cars specifically for European customers.
A small-scale vehicle assembly plant was established in Portugal with Salvador Caetano in the mid-1960s, prior to us launching manufacturing operations on a major scale. We started with engine and car plants in the UK in the early 1990s, and have gone on to expand production at sites in France, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia.
