SEAT Technical centre celebrates its 40th Anniversary - Unravel Travel TV

44 years ago, SEAT made a decision that would change its future forever. The company decided to create its own Technical Centre; this dream became a reality in 1975. The Technical Centre was conceived with the aim of ensuring the company's progress, creating its own unique identity and style and constantly incorporating the most advanced technology into their models.

2015 the SEAT Technical Centre (CTS) in Spain celebrates its 40th Anniversary. The centre marked a "before and after" for the company and for the automotive industry in Spain as a whole. Since the beginning, the CTS has shaped SEAT's DNA and has become the driving force of the company, which is currently the largest investor in R&D in Spain. The company has invested 1.4 billion euros in this area over the last five years.

40 years of Research and Development
The CTS started working in 1975 in a 130.000 m2 area with a workforce of 211 employees. Today the CTS is located in a 200,000 m2 area and has more than 900 engineers and technicians, and will reach around 1,000 by the end of this year. Throughout its 40 year history the CTS has been constantly growing and evolving. It has not just expanded its facilities, but the workforce has also quadrupled and other significant centres and buildings have sprung up in the surrounding area. The most important of these is the Martorell factory, inaugurated in 1993, which is currently one of Europe's most modern and sustainable factories, producing 2,100 units daily (443.000 in 2014). SEAT sells its cars in 75 countries.

The CTS is responsible for creating the company's most iconic vehicles such as the Leon, Ibiza, Toledo, Alhambra, Malaga, Marbella, Cordoba, Altea and Arosa, among others. Thanks to the CTS, all of these models follow a common development process that gives them specific character and forms, all characteristic of SEAT.
