More and more drivers are asking about their vehicle’s origins, and our neighbors in Kearney and Bellevue are no exception! So, who owns Volkswagen? The Volkswagen brand is owned and managed by Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, or Volkswagen AG. In English, they might be referred to simply as the Volkswagen Group.
Who owns Volkswagen in the States? In the U.S., the production and sale of Volkswagen cars and SUVs is led by the Volkswagen Group of America, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. They work annually with more than 600 independently owned Volkswagen dealerships, but that’s not all. The Volkswagen Group of America is also responsible for research and development, Volkswagen parts distribution, Volkswagen financial services, marketing, and more! Their U.S. headquarters is located in Herndon, VA.
As a company with global reach and appeal, Volkswagen owns and operates 100 manufacturing facilities, in a total of 27 countries, spread over five continents.
Today, the largest Volkswagen factory is still located in their hometown: Wolfsburg, Germany. You’re sure to be familiar with the models they manufacture on the site:
The Volkswagen Group of America also directs all activities at the Volkswagen manufacturing facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The plant, which dates from 2011, currently employs around 2,000 people, and produces about 150,000 cars and SUVs a year!
Which Volkswagen cars and SUVs are built in the U.S.? The Chattanooga plant was initially focused firmly on the production of the Volkswagen Passat, a midsize car designed with the American consumer in mind. Beginning in 2017, production at the plant expanded to cover the new Volkswagen Atlas, a three-row SUV that’s helping more and more families “Drive Bigger”!
