Kia Corporation

Kia is South Korea's oldest automaker, founded in 1944 as a manufacturer of steel tubing and bicycle parts. Motorcycles followed in 1957, trucks in 1962, and the first passenger car — the Brisa, built under license from Mazda — in 1974. Kia weathered the Asian financial crisis through a 1998 takeover by Hyundai, which still holds roughly a 33% stake.
