Martorell also produced the largest number of vehicles of any plant in Spain in 2014.
The company said “thanks to the increase in production, last year we hired more than 800 temporary workers and since January, 350 of those workers have signed permanent contracts.”
SEAT also plans to open around 100 dealerships this year, 90% of them in Europe.
