History
Since its founding in 1972, GM Korea worked as a holding company for General Motors. Here, a partnership with Shinjin engine and later with Saehan Motor and Dong-A Motor arose. Since then, many of the models were built by the producers both for sales in their own country as well as for the export in the badge - engineering. In the competition then Dong -A took over in 1983 and created his competition on the merger, the new company Daewoo Motor. Cooperation with GM was still maintained.
In 1999, Daewoo Motor had first filed for bankruptcy, so you saw no way looking for other investors to sales of works. General Motors tried at that time even completely from Daewoo to solve. The partner companies Isuzu and Suzuki offered on the General Motors Japan at that time a more promising investment for the Group. But it came after several conflicts then again on Daewoo back, because until then no buyer had been found. So we then decided to modernize the South Korean works and revise the model range according to the Japanese model during the year 2002. In the same year they changed the company name to GM Daewoo.
But could the investment does not save the company. In March 2011, the company filed for bankruptcy again. The brand name Daewoo vanished with the South Korean market. All plants were enclosed by GM Korea bought the production continued. The Korean art had evolved into one of the world's major parts supplier of the GM Group. Likewise for the car trade, the location South Korea had become indispensable.
