Common roots. Shared future.

Since 1 March 2011, Porsche Holding has belonged to Volkswagen AG as a wholly-owned subsidiary and, therefore, is part of the most successful European car manufacturer. It closes a historic circle which began with the development of the Volkswagen by Ferdinand Porsche and the growth of two successful companies in Salzburg and Stuttgart, two jewels now being part of this greater whole. The previous shareholders of the Porsche and Piëch families will continue to participate in the develop- ment of this automotive group as majority shareholders of Volkswagen AG and in their function as members of the Supervisory Board.

Also in this year, Porsche Holding is entrusted with new tasks in the Volkswagen Group. CROSS, the computer system for dealers, is implemented in the Group as standard worldwide. As from 2012, Porsche Holding takes over the Volkswagen import business in Colombia. The Czech importer IVG becomes part of Porsche Holding under its new company name Porsche CZ. Porsche Holding takes over the management of all Spanish and Polish retailers owned by the Volkswagen Group.
