Adam Opel built a business on sewing machines and bicycles in 19th-century Germany — modest products that became a dynasty, though he never lived to see his sons pivot the family firm into automobiles.
About
Born in May 1837, Opel started as an entrepreneur in an era when practical household goods and human-powered transport defined modernity. He founded Adam Opel AG and made his name manufacturing sewing machines and bicycles, reliable tools for a rapidly industrializing Europe. He died in September 1895, twelve years before his company produced its first car. The Opel name endured, carried forward by his heirs into the automotive age he never witnessed.
