Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., trading OTC under the symbol GELYY, is a Chinese automotive manufacturer headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Since its entry into vehicle production in 1997, the company has grown into one of China’s largest privately owned automakers. Geely Automobile develops, manufactures and sells a broad range of passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs and multipurpose vehicles, under the Geely brand as well as several sub-brands focused on electrification and new energy solutions.
The company’s product portfolio spans internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid models and a rapidly expanding lineup of battery electric vehicles. Geely has invested heavily in smart-car technologies and connectivity platforms, integrating advanced driver-assistance systems, in-vehicle infotainment and over-the-air software updates. Through strategic acquisitions and joint ventures—most notably its acquisition of Volvo Cars in 2010 and a controlling stake in Lotus Cars in 2017—Geely Automobile has enhanced its access to global engineering expertise, safety technologies and premium design capabilities.
Geely Automobile’s operations extend beyond mainland China, with export networks covering Asia, Europe, Latin America and portions of the Middle East. The company has established manufacturing or assembly facilities in select overseas markets to support localized production and better serve regional demand. This global footprint underscores Geely’s ambition to transition from a leading domestic player to a significant international automotive brand with competitive offerings in both conventional and new energy segments.
Founded by entrepreneur Li Shufu, who remains chairman of the parent Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, Geely Automobile benefits from his strategic vision of combining cost-efficient manufacturing with ongoing investment in research and development. Under his leadership, the company has pursued partnerships in autonomous driving research, electrification and sustainable mobility, positioning itself to capitalize on the automotive industry’s shift toward greener, connected vehicles.
