There was a Motown division called Tamla-Motown, that distributed US recordings as well as a number of UK labels under it's umbrella such as Gull. The 1960's Motown started in the UK by using various labels: Stateside, Fontana, London and Oriole before starting it's own Tamla-Motown label.
Berry Gordy Jr was inspired by the assembly line production model in the automobile industry to create a similar system for his record company, Motown. He applied this concept to streamline the music production process, emphasizing efficiency, quality control, and mass production of hits. This approach allowed Motown to become one of the most successful and influential record labels in history.
