Peugeot is a renowned French automaker and one of the oldest in the world. Founded by Peugeot family in 1810 and originally a manufacturer of a number of products, including steel strips, coffee grinders, and bicycles, the company built its first car in 1889. A true pioneer, Peugeot was noted for its successes in auto racing between the 1890s and 1914. The company entered the mass production segment of the automobile market after World War I and on the strenghth of its sales, the firm quickly grew. Peugeot's growth was further expedited by its takeover of the ailing Bellanger and De Dion makes in 1928. By 1939, Peugeot had become one of the largest automakers in Europe.

Peugeot continued to grow when it resumed peacetime production in 1945, producing a wide range of vehicles for the world automobile market. The late twentieth century was particularly eventful for the firm. When competitor Citroën went bankrupt in 1974, the French government encouraged Peugeot to acquire a large stake in the ailing concern. In 1976, Peugeot acquired full control of Citroën, which led to the formation of the holding company PSA Peugeot Citroën. In 1978, Peugeot purchased Chrysler Corporation's European operations (which included the Rootes Group and Simca), whose products Peugeot marketed under the Talbot nameplate until 1987. During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Peugeot once again became noted for its successes in motorsports. See also Bellanger, Chrysler (Europe), Citroën, De Dion-Bouton, Rootes, Simca, Talbot (France), and Talbot (United Kingdom).

Peugeot is currently the largest automaker in France and the second largest in Europe.
