Kia Motors began life back in 1944 when they were known as Kyungsung Precision Industry. In 1951 they produced their first bicycle for the Korean market called the Samchully and the following year changed their name to Kia Industries. They are the second largest car manufacturer in South Korean with their head office in Seoul.
