GM History - A Brief History

The founding of General Motors on September 16, 1908, drew little

attention. Motorcar firms were appearing virtually everywhere.

Success for the young automotive concern was not predestined. There was no

guarantee of a place in the market or assurance of any profit. Of the

nearly 1,000 companies that tried to build and sell motor vehicles prior

to 1927, less than 200 continued in business long enough to even offer a

commercially suitable vehicle.

Most of the companies that comprised the young General Motors Company were

weak, and their operations were uncoordinated. Many were in debt. It was

not until the 1920s, when a new concept of management was forged and a new

concept of product emerged, that GM really began to prosper.

General Motors sales for its first full fiscal year ending September 31,

1909, totaled 25,000 cars and trucks, 19 percent of total U.S. sales. Net

sales totaled $29,030,000 and its payroll at the peak of the manufacturing

season numbered more than 14,000 mostly in Michigan. In 1995, GM sold 8.3

million cars and trucks worldwide with net income of $6.9 billion and

worldwide employment averaging 714,000 workers.

General Motors has 284 operations in 35 states and 158 cities in the

United States. In addition GM of Canada operates 21 locations, GM de

Mexico operates 5 locations, and GM has assembly, manufacturing,

distribution or warehousing operations in 49 other countries, including

equity interests in associated companies.

General Motors has operations in 41 countries outside North America and

accounts for about 17 percent of the vehicles sold in the world"s

competitive markets. GM operations outside North American accounts for

over one-third of the corporation"s vehicle sales. GM products (of all

types) are sold in 170 countries around the world
