Audi is one of Germany’s oldest-established automobile manufacturers. Since 1932 the Audi emblem has been the ‘four rings’, which stand for its amalgamation with DKW, Horch and Wanderer to form Auto Union AG in Chemnitz, which then adopted this badge. It supplied the widest range of passenger vehicles that German industry could offer in the 1930s – from motorcycle to luxury saloon.



NSU

NSU started motorcycle production in 1901 and began to build cars five years later



Horch

Horch cars had been built in Cologne since 1900, in Reichenbach since 1902 and in Zwickau since 1904.



DKW

In 1907 Jörgen Skafte Rasmussen started a company in Zschopau to manufacture apparatus and fittings.



Audi

Audi cars, which had been built in Zwickau since 1910, were regarded from the start as technically avant-garde midsize models



Wanderer

The fourth ring referred to the Wanderer automobile division, which also joined the new Auto Union AG in 1932.

DKW began to enter for road races in 1921. In 1925 a small racing department headed by chief designer Hermann Weber was set up.



In April 1999, Audi and VW reached an agreement on the delivery of vehicles in completely knocked down (CKD) form to Thailand. The vehicle parts kits supplied by Audi are then assembled in Thailand.

No they don't own VW. It's just a partenership to develop new technologies. Together with VW they have Bugatti and other car makers. VW is a big family.
