American? Are you proud to be one? - A Ford Company Documentary The Ford Motor Company (commonly referred to as simply Ford) is an American multinational automaker headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. It was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. The company sells automobiles and commercial vehicles under the Ford brand and most luxury cars under the Lincoln brand. Ford also owns Brazilian SUV manufacturer, Troller, and Australian performance car manufacturer FPV. In the past it has also produced tractors and automotive components. Ford owns a 2.1% stake in Mazda of Japan, an 8% stake in Aston Martin of the United Kingdom, and a 49% stake in Jiangling of China. It also has a number of joint-ventures, two in China (Changan Ford Mazda and Ford Lio Ho), one in Thailand (AutoAlliance Thailand), one in Turkey (Ford Otosan), and one in Russia (Ford Sollers). It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is controlled by the Ford family, although they have minority ownership. Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines; by 1914 these methods were known around the world as Fordism. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover, acquired in 1989 and 2000 respectively, were sold to Tata Motors in March 2008. Ford owned the Swedish automaker Volvo from 1999 to 2010. In 2011, Ford discontinued the Mercury brand, under which it had marketed entry-level luxury cars in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East since 1938. During the financial crisis at the beginning of the 21st century, it was close to bankruptcy, but it has since returned to profitability. Ford is the second-largest U.S.-based automaker (preceded by General Motors) and the fifth-largest in the world based on 2010 vehicle sales. At the end of 2010, Ford was the fifth largest automaker in Europe. Ford is the eighth-ranked overall American-based company in the 2010 Fortune 500 list, based on global revenues in 2009 of $118.3 billion. In 2008, Ford produced 5.532 million automobiles and employed about 213,000 employees at around 90 plants and facilities worldwide.

Lincoln is still for grandmas

During a speech a few nights ago, Trump announced that Ford Motor Company is moving their compact car production to Mexico. In 1984 my dad bought me a Mustang and I’ve bought Ford’s ever since. My wife and son have had Fords too. My daughter is turning 16 in January but I won’t be buying another Ford. I’m not a fan of Trump but I think it’s good that he is exposing these companies’ intentions.

You either support your own local manufacturing and all the subsequent spinoff technology and jobs that come with it , or you buy it from overseas from somewhere like China who then lend you the money to buy their goods and the with the profits build a strong military and then start dictating to you how it is going to be in the future

Bad FORD for moving more jobs to Mexico!! I have never owned a Ford and never will!

Ford is sending jobs overseas,have an assembly plant in Mexico being built right now.By 2018,all jobs are going overseas.Donald Trump has been on their ass on this a lot.Ford's engineers need their ass kicked.They make my life as a mechanic miserable doing everything the hard way and Fords are the worst to work on.They don't let out computer info which goes to dealers only and want to shut down independent shops badly.

The trouble in the western world is that people have no national loyalty any more , probably only the Germans have some pride in themselves but the rest non , in Australia the whole idea of buying locally manufactured is completely dead in the water , in fact this generation pride themselves in anything but local and that include holidaying overseas , Westerners have one loyalty and that is themselves and nothing else , support local manufacturing and create employment and good constructive work , fuck of I can buy it cheaper from China .
-
I wonder if they are going focus on the unsatified customers.
-
This is not a documentary.
It's a really long add only talking about how "great" the company is and avoiding any shortcomings. -
