## Geographic presence

Ford Motor Co. is headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, and reported about 169,000 employees worldwide for 2025; the available filing evidence does not provide a country- or region-level employee breakdown.

[18](https://corporate.ford.com/operations/locations/global-plants/) The company also describes Ford Otosan facilities in Türkiye, including three plants, a parts-distribution depot, and an R&D center.

## Business segments

Ford reports four operating segments. Ford Blue covers Ford and Lincoln internal-combustion and hybrid vehicles, parts, accessories and retail digital services; Ford Model e focuses on electric vehicles, including extended-range EVs, and related parts, accessories, software and digital technologies. Ford Pro serves commercial, government and rental customers with vehicles, parts and fleet-focused services, including telematics and EV charging. Ford Credit provides financial services. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P47473624)[3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P53448616)[4](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P66697965)[1](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P80891527)

In the second quarter of 2026, segment external revenues represented approximately 54.0% of consolidated revenue for Blue ($26.1 billion), 2.1% for Model e ($1.0 billion), 36.8% for Pro ($17.8 billion) and 7.0% for Ford Credit ($3.4 billion). These are approximate shares of consolidated Q2 revenue of $48.3 billion. [17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T16495175) Segment revenues require care in comparison: Blue and Model e include intersegment revenue that is eliminated on consolidation, and Pro’s external vehicle sales include vehicles produced by Blue or Model e.

## Company history

Henry Ford built his first experimental automobile, the Quadricycle, in 1896. He and 12 associates founded Ford Motor Company on June 16, 1903. Ford expanded into Canada in 1904, and the Model T, introduced in 1908, became central to the company’s early growth. In 1913, Ford began operating a moving assembly line at its Highland Park plant, a major change in automobile production. [21](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/henry-ford-biography/)[22](https://corporate.ford.com/about/history/company-timeline.htm)[23](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/the-model-t/)[24](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/moving-assembly-line/)

Edsel Ford became company president in 1919, and the Ford family acquired Lincoln in 1922. Model T production ended in 1927 after more than 15 million had been built; the Model A followed that year. Henry Ford II became president in 1945, and Ford first offered its shares publicly in 1956. The Mustang debuted in 1964 and became one of the company’s signature models. [25](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/edsel-ford-biography/)[26](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/edsel-ford-and-the-lincoln-dna/)[23](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/the-model-t/)[27](https://shareholder.ford.com/Information/stock/default.aspx)[28](https://corporate.ford.com/articles/history/mustang-worlds-fair/)

In the 2000s, Ford sold or divested several international automotive brands: Aston Martin in 2007, Jaguar and Land Rover in 2008, and Volvo Cars in 2010. Alan Mulally became president and CEO in 2006. Jim Farley succeeded Jim Hackett as president and CEO in 2020; in 2022, Ford reorganized its automotive operations into Ford Blue, Ford Model e, and Ford Pro as part of its Ford+ plan.
