Cadillac Automobiles

Cadillac is one of the oldest automobile brands in the world, serving as the premier luxury division of the American manufacturer General Motors (GM). Founded in 1902 in Detroit, Michigan, from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company, it was named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit.

Today, Cadillac operates as a global luxury brand. While its historic roots and major engineering hubs remain in the United States, the brand has a significant manufacturing footprint in China to serve the Asian market. Cadillac is central to General Motors' long-term strategy, particularly as the company transitions toward an all-electric future with flagship models designed to compete on a global scale.

Ownership has remained consistent for over a century; General Motors acquired Cadillac in 1909 and has since developed it into a symbol of American luxury and technological innovation, including pioneering the integration of V8 engines and electrical systems in early motor vehicles.
