Description

Kia, a South Korean automotive company, traces its roots back to 1944 when it was initially established as a manufacturer of steel tubing and bicycle parts. The company, known as Kyungsung Precision Industry at the time, eventually transitioned into the production of motorcycles and later expanded into the automobile industry. In 1952, Kia produced its first bicycle, and by the 1970s, it had ventured into manufacturing automobiles. The brand officially changed its name to Kia Motors Corporation in 1992, reflecting its commitment to becoming a major player in the global automotive market.
