An American automobile manufacturer. It was founded in 1925 after Walter P. Chrysler, who had left General Motors, rebuilt the company from Maxwell Motors. In 1928, it acquired Dodge (established in 1914) and became one of the Big Three. From 1936 to 1949, it once surpassed Ford Motor, but in the 1950s, its performance deteriorated due to its excessive emphasis on technology, and internal conflicts led to a crisis. In 1961, unknown Lynn Townsend became president at the age of 42 and tried to turn things around. Its share of the American market temporarily fell to 8%, but rose to 18.9% in 1968. In terms of overseas management strategies, it is famous for taking over the French automobile company Simca in 1963. It then acquired Barreiros of Spain, which has its roots in the UK. After 1969, its performance deteriorated again and it continued to stagnate. In 1987, it acquired American Motors. In 1989, the company sold its shares in Mitsubishi Motors and Gulfstream Aerospace, and in 1996, it sold its defense and aviation divisions to Raytheon to focus on the automotive division. In 1998, the company merged with German automaker Daimler-Benz and changed its name to DaimlerChrysler. However, in 2007, the merger was dissolved and the company became a subsidiary of an American investment fund and changed its name to Chrysler LLC. Chrysler |
