  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.
