Company history

Fiat Motors (Ireland) Limited was founded in Dublin on 30 November 1923. It imported and sold Fiat vehicles. From 1948 to 1956, W. J. Henderson assembled Fiat vehicles for the Irish market. In 1966 the decision was made to have its own assembly plant. Assembly began in 1968. Vehicle production ended in 1984.

The company was renamed Fiat Auto (Ireland) Limited on 20 January 1925, Fiat Group Automobiles (Ireland) Limited on 21 January 1986, Fiat Group Automobiles (Ireland) Limited on 6 July 2007, Fiat Group Automobiles Ireland Limited on 17 July after the merger with Chrysler into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Ireland Limited and on 23 March 2015 into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Ireland Designated Activity Company.[2]
