History
The plant was founded in 1967 by the brothers Van Dorn. In 1972, Volvo bought a 33% stake in the DAF car division. In 1975, it increased its share to 75% and the factory was renamed Volvo Car BV , and by 1976 the division was fully owned by Volvo. When financial difficulties threatened to close the enterprise in the early 1990s , the government helped. A joint venture between the Dutch state, Volvo and Mitsubishi began in August 1991 , but the name was changed only in 1996 to Netherlands Car BV On February 15, 1990, the Dutch government sold its stake in Volvo and Mitsubishi. On March 30, 2001, Volvo sold its shares to Mitsubishi , which became the sole owner of NedCar. At the end of 2012, Mitsubishi stopped production of its cars at NedCar [3] .
