How the Peugeot Family Kept Control Through 200 Years

In Episode 153, Lucas and Luna trace the Peugeot family's two-century survival in the auto industry, from coffee mills to the PSA merger with Fiat Chrysler. They unpack the family's patient capital, its 10 percent voting rights stake in Stellantis, and how a 19th-century inheritance rule kept the company in family hands through nationalizations, near-bankruptcy, and global consolidation. With a 2026 lens, they explore how the Peugeot family's playbook—discipline, diversification, and a willingness to cede operational control—offers lessons for any family business facing generational change. The episode also touches on the role of family councils, shareholder pacts, and the tension between legacy and adaptation. #PeugeotFamily #Stellantis #FamilyBusiness #SuccessionPlanning #AutoIndustry #PSA #FiatChrysler #CorporateGovernance #Legacy #LongTermThinking #BusinessHistory #FamilyOwnership #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #FamilyLegacy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
