The Audi Group includes the parent company and its subsidiaries Audi Hungary, Quattro Ltd., as well as Automobili Lamborghini and Cosworth Technologies, Audi Brazil and Audi Senalita. In addition, Audi also has production plants in China, Malaysia and South Africa.
Audi is one of Germany's oldest car manufacturers. Since 1932, Audi has adopted the four-ring logo, which symbolizes the Auto Union company formed by the merger of Audi with DKW, Horch and Wanderer. In the 1930s, the Auto Union company covered all the passenger car areas that the German auto industry could provide, from motorcycles to luxury cars.
Audi was selected as the "No. 1 Brand in Buyer Satisfaction in China" compiled by the World Brand Value Laboratory in 2008, ranking seventh.
The logo of the Audi sedan is four circles, representing the four companies before the merger. These companies were once manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles and passenger cars. Since the company was originally formed by the merger of 4 companies, each ring is a symbol of one of them.
The history of the German Audi company manufacturing cars and motorcycles can be traced back to the 19th century. Four car companies originally located in Saxony-Audi and Horch Motors in Zwickau, Roamer Motors in Chemnitz-Siegmar (Wanderer) and dkw automobile company in zschopau, made outstanding contributions to the progress of the German automobile industry at that time.
These four automobile companies merged into Auto Union AG (Auto Union AG, hereinafter referred to as Auto Union) in 1933. In terms of automobile production, the Auto Union was the second largest automobile manufacturing company in Germany at the time. The product mark is four connected circles, representing the four automobile companies participating in the merger. For the first time in the world, the four-ring logo appeared.
After World War II, the Auto Union car factory in Saxony was confiscated and demolished by the former Soviet occupation forces. Since then, many high-level personnel of the company went to Bavaria, and in 1949 established the auto union gmbh in Ingolstadt (ingolstadt), which inherited the tradition of the old auto union, still with four A chain as a sign.
Automobile Union Co., Ltd. and Nsu Co., Ltd. (nsu gmbh) merged in 1969 to form Audi-nsu Auto Union AG (audi nsu auto union ag); in 1985, the company was renamed Audi AG (audi ag). The headquarters moved to Ingolstadt, Fourth Ring.
This shows that the history of Audi was divided into two parts by World War II. The first part is the Auto Union before World War II, and the second part is the development of Audi after World War II.
