The company traces its origins to the early 20th century and became the modern Lear Corporation following a series of acquisitions and restructurings during the 1980s and 1990s. Over time, Lear expanded from traditional seating manufacturing into advanced electrical distribution and connectivity systems aligned with evolving automotive technology trends.
