The History of Kia

Kia Motors was founded in 1944. It was the first motor vehicle company to be founded in South Korea. They now own 13 manufacturing plants based in eight different countries which produce more than a million vehicles per year.

One of the lucky countries proud enough to have a Kia manufacturing plant is, in fact, the United States of America. It is located in the beautiful West Point. It is called the Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia and has been up and running since 2009. Currently they produce the Sorento and the Optima. A manufacturing plant is not the only thing that the United States has to offer Kia, however. For the past fourteen years, Kia Motors America has recorded increased United States market share on a year to year basis. They also sponsor many American based companies, organizations, and residents such as, but not limited to, the National Basketball Association, the Women’s National Basketball Association, Atlanta Falcons, Blake Griffin, and X-Men. They also have manufacturing plants throughout Europe and in Mexico through which they are very involved. Lastly, they have a Defense program as well.

It goes without saying that Kia remains involved in the countries with which they do business and it is obvious that that business mentality is taking them far. Kia is thriving in the American auto-industry simply because they care (and create reliable, efficient and safe vehicles as well).
