The Eurostar Automobilwerk GesmbH & Co. KG is a former subsidiary of the automotive corporation DaimlerChrysler.
The company was founded on 13 February 1990 as a 50/50 joint venture between the Chrysler Corporation and the Steyr-Daimler-Puch Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co. KG.
The extension was necessary to enable the planned assembly of diesel motorized units of the new Chrysler PT Cruiser.
But the Austrian assembly of the PT Cruisers was too expensive, so the DaimlerChrysler concern decided in December to end this as quickly as possible.
On 29 February 2002, the company was purchased by Magna International Inc. at an Annual General Meeting of Chrysler in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Since that time, the former Eurostar plant has been a part of the Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co. KG.
