Skoda’s history can be traced back to 1885. This is when two men joined efforts to make bikes and motorbikes in a business named Laurin & Klement. The company merged with Skoda Pilsen in 1925. They produced excellent vehicles.

Even during these hard times, Skoda introduced another excellent automobile called the Skoda Superb. After the war there were more changes and Skoda was renamed AZNP Skoda.

The company maintains their leading position only in the eastern market. Things do not improve much until 1987. This is when Skoda introduced Favorit their new automobile.

More political changes mean changes in the economy and market again. Skoda knows they need a foreign partner. The government decided cooperation with the VW Konzern would be a good idea. And in 1991 Skoda joined VW, Audi and Seat. They became Konzern’s fourth brand.
