Sachsenring is the name carried by the East German vehicle maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau, which operated out of the former Auto Union factory in Zwickau and was one of the few manufacturers of vehicles in East Germany. Its best known product was the Trabant, built from 1957 until 1991, while its own name appeared on cars such as the Sachsenring P70 and the Sachsenring P240. After German reunification in 1990 the company moved from state ownership under a centrally planned economy to a private corporation, and the successor Sachsenring AG was bought in February 2006 by Härterei und Qualitätsmanagement GmbH of Leipzig. Sachsenring has since left motor vehicle production and supplies chassis and body parts to the automotive industry.
