General Motors Company Description
So far General Motors (GM) has steered around competitors to remain the world's #1 maker of cars and trucks, with brands such as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn. GM also produces cars through its Holden, Opel, and Vauxhall units. Financing and insurance business is primarily conducted by one-time wholly owned subsidiary GMAC (GM currently owns 49%). In addition, GM owns slightly more than 50% of South Korea's GM Daewoo Auto & Technology. Like its US counterparts Ford Motor and Chrysler, GM is in the midst of restructuring its North American operations.
