Company profile:
In the United States Ford Motor Company stands for all that is the best in the country and indeed symbolises the American spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation.
The very first mass-produced vehicle by Ford Motor was the model T Ford, built in 1908, in Ford plants around the world. Since then the company has been coming out with models with breakthrough technology. Now the company stands tall among all automobile manufacturers and now houses some of the world’s most favourite brands of cars such as the Jaguar, the Mazda and the Mercury.
The company’s founder Henry Ford’s philosophy “Act global, think local” has catapulted the company into becoming one of the largest automobile manufacturers the world over.
