• Italian Origins and Acquisition (1971-2014) The SWM brand was founded in Italy in 1971, originally manufacturing motorcycles where it gained recognition in off-road competition. The brand faced financial difficulties and became inactive in the late 1980s. In January 2014, the Chinese industrial conglomerate Shineray Holdings (鑫源控股) acquired the SWM brand outright. • Transition to Automobiles (2016) Following the acquisition, Shineray Holdings leveraged the brand recognition of SWM to enter the passenger car market. The SWM Automobiles brand was officially launched in July 2016 in Beijing, China. Its first product, the SWM X7 SUV, began production earlier that year in January at Shineray's facility in Fuling, Chongqing. This strategic move utilized the European heritage of the SWM name for its new line of vehicles.
