===Hansa-Lloyd===
In 1929, Borgward became the director of [[Hansa (company)|Hansa-Lloyd AG]] having been able to merge his [[Goliath (company)|Goliath-Werke Borgward & Co.]] with Hansa-Lloyd. The small Goliath-Blitzkarren had by now evolved into the three-wheeled timber-framed synthetic-leather-bodied 5 or 7&nbsp;hp [[Goliath Pionier]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Oswald |first=Werner |title=Deutsche Autos 1920-1945, volume 2 |publisher=Motorbuch Verlag |language=de |year=2001 |isbn=3-613-02170-6 |page=150}}</ref> Borgward turned his attention to the other businesses and led the development of the Hansa Konsul. In February 1937, there came the new [[Hansa Borgward 2000]] and in 1939 its name was shortened to Borgward 2000.<ref name=Odin>Odin, L.C.

After [[World War II]], in 1946 Carl Borgward used some of the brand names from businesses he had acquired over the years to found three separate companies: Borgward, [[Goliath (company)|Goliath]] and [[Lloyd (automobile)|Lloyd]].<ref name=WhyLloydlautKaack/> This was intended to increase the quantity of steel allocated to his business at a time of austerity and rationing.<ref name=WhyLloydlautKaack>{{cite book|title=Minimalismus auf vier Rädern | trans-title = Minimalism on four wheels | language = de | page = 76 | first=Ulf | last = Kaack| work=Borgward: Das Kompendium|publisher=GeraMond Verlag, München| date=2012| isbn=978-3-86245-667-3}}</ref> For many purposes the companies would be run as a single entity; but in a business operated by a man to whom delegation did not come naturally, the proliferation of legal entities nevertheless added unhelpful layers of complexity through the 1950s and encouraged a broadening of the range which in the end proved financially unsustainable with the sales volumes achievable.<ref name=KonkurslautKaack>{{cite book|title=Der Konkurs - Untergang des bremischen Automobilimperiums| pages=17–19| first=Ulf | last = Kaack | work=Borgward: Das Kompendium|publisher=GeraMond Verlag, München| date=2012| isbn=978-3-86245-667-3}}</ref>  In 1949 the company presented the [[Borgward Hansa 1500]].<ref name=Hansa1500lautKaack>{{cite book|title=Traum-Pkw und robuste Lkw| pages=23–25, 27| first=Ulf | last = Kaack| work=Borgward: Das Kompendium|publisher=GeraMond Verlag, München| date=2012| isbn=978-3-86245-667-3}}</ref>
