In its 70-year history, SEAT has been on a steady track of sustainable growth which has driven the automotive industry in Spain. Where vehicle production began in 1953 with a workforce of 925 people, today more than 15,000 employees work at SEAT and it has a multiplying effect on the auxiliary industry, generating some 100,000 jobs overall.



With a turnover of 11.157 billion euros in 2019 and exports of both vehicles and components accounting for 81% of turnover (9.041 billion euros), SEAT is Spain’s leading industrial exporter. Likewise, today SEAT Martorell is the factory that produces the most cars in Spain, the second largest vehicle production market in Europe.



It is also worth mentioning that SEAT allocated 1.259 billion euros to investments and R&D expenses in 2019, of which 27 million euros were directly invested in sustainable initiatives at the Martorell facilities with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions and, thanks to an ambitious environmental strategy, making it a zero-carbon-footprint plant by 2030.



The company has also become a reference in occupational health in the corporate environment, following the opening of the CARS Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre in 2017. This is a unique medical centre that offers preventive and healthcare medicine as well as rehabilitative care to the company’s more than 15,000 workers, and which performs more than 70,000 consultations a year.
