A German automobile manufacturer. Daimler-Benz was established in 1926 when Gottlieb Daimler's company and Karl Benz's company merged. During World War II, the factory was heavily damaged because it produced military supplies such as engines for the air force and tanks, but after the war, it resumed production of trucks in 1945 and passenger cars in 1947, and developed as a company in the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). In 1958, the company acquired all shares of Auto Union (sold to Volkswagen in 1965), and expanded its business by acquiring Maybach in 1961 and Porsche Diesel Motors in 1963. In 1989, the company became a holding company and reorganized its automobile business into Mercedes-Benz AG, its aerospace business into Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG, its electrical and electronics business into AEG, and its financial services and other businesses into Benz Interservices AG. In 1997, Daimler absorbed Mercedes-Benz and placed it under its direct control, and also dismantled AEG in an attempt to streamline its management, but in 1998 it merged with Chrysler, an American automaker, to become DaimlerChrysler. However, due to poor performance, in 2007 the Chrysler division was sold to an American investment fund and the merger was dissolved, and the company name was changed to Daimler. Daimler |
