Volvo’s headquarters remain in Gothenburg, as of 2014, where the majority of their product development, marketing and administrative functions are housed. The headquarters of Volvo Cars China are located in Shanghai, China. In addition to manufacturing, the Shanghai location is also home to purchasing, sales, marketing and product development. The main production plants are located in Gothenburg and Ghent, Belgium. Engine parts and other components of Volvo vehicles have been manufactured in various cities in Sweden since the 1930s. Assembly plants are also located in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and the cities of Chongqing and Chengdu in China.
