Borgward

Carl F. W. Borgward created the old Borgward automotive manufacturing firm, which had its headquarters in Bremen, Germany (1890–1963). It produced automobiles under the Borgward, Hansa, Goliath, and Lloyd brands, which were marketed to a wide range of worldwide customers. In the 1950s, Borgward's Isabella was one of the most well-liked German luxury models, and many working-class drivers could afford to drive Lloyd's Alexander/Lloyd 600 model. In 1961, the organization stopped operating as a result of contentious insolvency procedures.

With the design and marketing of automobiles made in China by the Stuttgart-based Borgward Group AG, the name was revived in the twenty-first century.

The Hansa Automobilgesellschaft was founded in Varel (a town close to Bremen) in 1905, and NAMAG, the business that created the Lloyd automobile, was founded in Bremen. In 1914, these two companies' combined to become "Hansa-Lloyd-Werke A.G." The firm failed to thrive after the war in the difficult economic climate that Germany was experiencing at the time, and by the late 1920s it was facing insolvency. The difficulties of Hansa-Lloyd provided Carl Borgward, the already successful founder of the Goliath-Blitzkarren company, with an opportunity to significantly extend the scope of his vehicle business, and he assumed control of it.
