Daewoo's purchase of Polish car factory fosters its push into remote markets
Article Abstract:
Daewoo Motor Co. recently acquired a $1.1 stake in Polish car manufacturer Fabryka Samochodow Osobowych in line with its strategy of investing in remote and less sophisticated markets. Daewoo chose to set up a manufacturing operation in Poland because it is one of the most attractive car markets in Eastern Europe and because it imposes relatively lower tariffs. The company's strategy contrasts sharply with those of its South Korean rivals, which prefer developed and newly emerging markets.
