Adam Opel AG
 PROFILE
Although not the same Adam you would associate with Eve, Adam Opel (a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors) has been around for a long time. Mr. Opel, who started out making sewing machines in 1862 and bicycles in 1886, has been making cars since 1899. Opel makes passenger cars (including the Astra, Corsa, Speedster, and Vectra), sport utility vehicles (Frontera and Monterey), commercial vehicles (Arena and Movano), and automotive components. Now GM's largest subsidiary outside North America, the company competes with Volkswagen, Ford, and Renault for European sales. Opel and Suzuki (in which GM owns a 10% stake) are cooperating to build small cars for markets such as Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America.
