Daewoo owned a share of [[AvtoZAZ]], an automobile manufacturer based in [[Ukraine]], from 1998 to 2003, establishing the AvtoZAZ-Daewoo joint venture. The [[Complete knock down|CKD]] assembly of the Daewoo Lanos started in 2002 in Ukraine and later it was adopted for full-scale production as the [[ZAZ Lanos]]. A version of the Daewoo-developed [[Chevrolet Aveo]] has been assembled for local market at the [[Chornomorsk]] subsidiary. Following the bankruptcy of Daewoo Motor in 2001, UkrAVTO corporation bought out the AvtoZAZ holding in 2002. All of the AvtoZAZ manufacturing facilities (most notably MeMZ and the Chornomorsk assembling plant) were reincorporated into ZAZ. The company even adopted a new logo. The Daewoo part in the joint venture was bought out by the Swiss venture Hirsch & CIE in 2003.

In August 1992, Daewoo set up [[UzAuto Motors|Uz-DaewooAuto]], a joint venture in [[Asaka, Uzbekistan|Asaka]], [[Uzbekistan]], leveraging the presence of a large local ethnic [[Koryo-saram|Korean minority]]. Currently, the plant assembles the Matiz and the [[Daewoo Nexia|Nexia]] for both the local market and export, as well as the [[Daewoo Lacetti|Lacetti]] hatchback and sedan for the domestic market only.

In 1994, Daewoo acquired the [[Automobile Craiova]] company in [[Craiova]], [[Romania]], which was producing a derivate of the Citroën Axel model, the [[Oltcit Club]]. The company's name was changed to "Romanian Daewoo Motor", abbreviated "Rodae", and later "Daewoo Automobile Romania".<ref>{{cite web|title=Rodae |url=http://www.romaniancars.ro/rodae |publisher=Romanian Cars |access-date=2011-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009152521/http://www.romaniancars.ro/rodae |archive-date=2011-10-09 }}</ref> The entire production facility was refurbished to mainly produce the Cielo model and later, other models. Until 2008, it was producing the Daewoo Cielo, Matiz and Nubira models for the Romanian market, but also car parts for export, such as engines and gearboxes to GM Daewoo and to other companies. The factory was acquired by the Romanian government and sold to [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] in 2007 (the official agreement was signed on 21 March 2008). The production of Daewoo models was stopped in May 2008, and Daewoo Automobile Romania became [[Ford Romania]].

Daewoo also invested into Poland's [[Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych]] (FSO) in 1995, forming a joint venture called Daewoo-FSO, for the assembly of the Matiz city car, a successor of the [[Daewoo Tico|Tico]], that was very popular in the [[Central Europe]]an market. Since January 2005, FSO began to produce Matiz and Lanos under their own trademark.

When making a joint venture with the Polish company [[Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych]] (FSC) in 1995, Daewoo also created "Daewoo Motor Polska" which produced the [[FSC Lublin|Daewoo Lublin]] van and the [[Tarpan Honker|Daewoo Honker]] pick-up truck, based on the former [[Tarpan Honker]]. Daewoo Motor Polska and the British van manufacturer [[LDV Group|LDV]] developed together during this period of time the [[LDV Maxus|Maxus]] van and, after Daewoo Group's bankruptcy, LDV secured the exclusive rights to the vehicle, purchased the tooling and moved it from Daewoo's plant in Poland to the LDV site in [[Birmingham]]. FSC was then sold by Daewoo's new parent company General Motors to the British investment group [[Intrall]] and the Honker's design to the Polish company Andoria-Mot.

In 1998, Daewoo Motor bought 50.2% of [[Avia Motors|Avia]], a [[Czech Republic|Czech]] automotive company. The year after, the trade name of the company was changed to Daewoo-Avia. In the same year, the company became the exclusive importer and distributor of Daewoo vehicles for the Czech Republic, and started manufacturing the Polish [[Daewoo Lublin|Lublin]] van and the new Avia D60/90 series truck range. General Motors' buyout plan did not include Daewoo-Avia in 2001. In the year 2005, the company was overtaken by the investment group Odien Capital Partners and in October 2006, the division of light trucks moved under the concern of [[Ashok Leyland]] of [[India]], becoming Avia Ashok Leyland Motors Company (AALM).

In 1998, the low-volume assembly of the Lanos, Nubira and the Leganza started in [[Taganrog]], [[Russia]], at the [[TagAZ]]-Doninvest factory<ref>{{cite web|title=Le panorama 2009 des constructeurs en trois questions|url=http://www.autofrancorusse.fr/AFR-AchatPanofr.html|access-date=2011-08-08|publisher=L'Auto Franco-Russe|language=fr|quote=Entre septembre 1998 et fin 1999 l’usine TAGAZ a assemblé près de 10 000 voitures Daewoo Lanos, Nubira et Leganza, sous sa marque Doninvest et avec des appellations locales.}}</ref> The cars were sold on the local market under the Doninvest brand, as the Assol, Orion and Kondor respectively. The project did not have much success, so TagAZ turned to [[Citroën]] to produce the [[Citroën Berlingo|Berlingo]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Machine-building industry of the Rostov Region|url=http://www.donland.ru/english/content/info.asp?partId=189&infoId=7524&topicFolderId=6998&topicInfoId=0|publisher=Administration of Rostov region|language=ru|access-date=2011-08-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071215150709/http://www.donland.ru/content/info.asp?partId=77&infoId=3226&topicInfoId=3226|archive-date=2007-12-15|quote=The company started production of minibus “Doninvest Orion M” with component parts of the French manufacturer on the basis of “Citroen Berlingo”}}</ref> and [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] to produce the [[Hyundai Accent|Accent]].

Following the [[General Motors]] buyout in 2002, Daewoo lost interest in its overseas assets. The deals on supplies of pre-assembled CKD kits ended in 2005 and the facilities were forced to rely on their own production capabilities from that point on.
