The
Company
In 1974 Peugeot SA acquired a 38.2% share of Citroën.
In 1976 they increased their stake of company to
89.95%, thus creating the PSA Group (where PSA is
short for Peugeot Société Anonym, later to be changed
to PSA Peugeot Citroën).
The two brands retained their separate sales and
marketing structures, but have benefited from a
common technology, development and assembling assets.
PSA is actively committed to develop its market
presence and sales in many fast growing developing
countries and regions of the world. This led to
huge investments and partnerships in South America,
Iran (Iran Khodro) and China (Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën
Automobile). Since 1997, PSA's CEO has been Jean-Martin
Folz. He has announced his departure effective January
2007 and will be replaced by Christian Streiff.
