Opel, one of the leading automotive manufacturers in Germany, was founded by Adam Opel in 1862. Initially, the company focused on manufacturing sewing machines and bicycles, before later transitioning to car production. Since then, Opel has gained recognition for its reliable, innovative, and affordable vehicles.

For a long period, Opel was owned by the American automotive giant General Motors (GM), which significantly influenced the brand's development and strategy. In 2017, as part of GM's global restructuring, Opel was sold to the French-Italian automotive group Stellantis, which includes brands such as Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, and others.

Despite the change in ownership, Opel continues to produce vehicles under its own brand, maintaining its uniqueness and identity. Opel's original parts remain available on the market, ensuring high quality and compatibility with the brand's vehicles. The use of original components is important for ensuring the reliability, safety, and longevity of Opel vehicles.

In conclusion, Opel's transition under the umbrella of Stellantis has opened new opportunities for development and innovation. By maintaining the production of original parts and a commitment to quality, Opel continues to be an important player in the European automotive market, offering a wide range of reliable and stylish vehicles.
