Geely

Geely was founded by entrepreneur Li Shufu; the holding company traces its origins to Li's business activities in the 1980s, and the Geely automobile marque was launched in 1997. The group grew rapidly through domestic expansion and international acquisitions, including Volvo Cars (2010) and later stakes in other global automotive businesses. Geely's branding has accompanied its globalization strategy, emphasizing a transition from a regional Chinese automaker to a diversified global mobility group led by its founder's investments and partnerships.
