Ford Ireland
The company imports and distributes Ford vehicles around the country. Based in Cork, the company was founded in 1917 by Henry Ford and was the first location outside the US, selected because his grandfather emigrated from the county.

With about 199,000 employees and about 67 plants worldwide, the company's automotive brands include Ford and Lincoln. Ford Motor Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
