1919
Carl F. W. Borgward becomes partner and managing director of Bremer Reifen-Industrie GmbH, a limited liability company, which produces radiators and fenders for the automotive industry.
Aside from its German engineering prowess and technical innovations, the Borgward name reflects an international orientation and has been such, since the very beginning. As early as the 1920s, the company was supplying the Polish post office with the Goliath Standard three-wheeler.
Bolstered in particular by the German economic miracle, the company developed into a global organization and oversaw a broad product range split amongst three distinguished brands – Lloyd (small cars), Goliath (lower mid-range cars, light delivery trucks), and Borgward (mid-range and luxury cars, trucks).
