Ford (NYSE: F) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, United States that owns 3 consumer brands, and has 1 recorded transaction.[1]
Ford built the first moving assembly line for cars in 1913, cutting the time to build a Model T from twelve hours to about ninety minutes. It is the only large American carmaker not to have gone through bankruptcy in 2009, having mortgaged its assets including the blue oval to raise cash beforehand.
Tata Motors acquired Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford for about $2.3 billion in cash. Ford had paid roughly $2.5 billion for Jaguar in 1989 and $2.7 billion for Land Rover in 2000, so it sold both together for less than it had paid for either.
