History[]
Pinas was founded in 1990 by W.J. Pierce, a Lovian-American industrialist. In 1997, Yuri Medvedev acquired a 35% stake in the company. In 2001, the aging Mr Pierce (by then 72) sold his remaining interests to Medvedev. He expanded the company to newer markets. In 2011, Pinas was bought by Vanguard Group, and is now concentrating on the American/Pacific markets, as well as Lovia. Its new counterpart, Vanguard, will also be sold in Lovia but also in Europe. Pinas will be presenting some models at the at the Koningstad Automobile Salon alongside Vanguard.
