Daewoo overview

Daewoo history

Established in 1967 as Daewoo Industry Corporation, Daewoo quickly emerged as a major player in South Korea's technological boom. In 1982, the Daewoo Group acquired the automotive manufacturer Saehan Motors, renaming the company Daewoo Motor Co. Throughout the 1990s, Daewoo expanded its international presence, producing models such as the Lanos, Nubira, and Leganza, known for their modern design and attractive value proposition. In 2001, General Motors acquired the majority of Daewoo Motors' assets, rebranding the company as GM Daewoo. The Daewoo brand gradually phased out in favor of Chevrolet in most markets, although some models continued to be produced under the Daewoo name in specific regions until the mid-2010s.
