French automobile manufacturer founded in 1810; originally produced coffee mills and bicycles before cars.
Named after the Peugeot family, from the French surname possibly derived from a place name. The company began as a steel foundry, evolved through various products, and became synonymous with French automotive engineering.
Peugeot's evolution from coffee grinders to cars illustrates how industrial companies pivoted with technology - the precision engineering skills for coffee mills translated perfectly to early automotive manufacturing. The company logo's lion symbol has remained constant through all these transformations.
