Founded in 1950 in the small Spanish town of Martorell, SEAT marked the beginning of an era in which a Spanish brand became firmly established in the global automotive industry. Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo S.A. (SEAT) was initially founded as a state-owned company and first expanded abroad in the 1970s. The car manufacturer has been part of the Volkswagen Group since 1986 and benefits from advanced technology and high quality standards.
In Switzerland, Seat is best known for models such as the Seat Ibiza and Seat Leon. The company also owes its success in this country to the local AMAG Group. Founder Walter Häfner was an early believer in the success of Seat and imported the first Seat models to Switzerland in 1984 via the then Spancar AG.

Fun Facts about Seat
Panda-based papamobile: Pope John Paul II announced his first visit to Spain in 1982. But the conventional 'Papamóvil' did not fit through the gates of the Real Madrid and FC Barcelona stadiums. In just 15 days, SEAT employees built a "Papamóvil" based on the Ford Panda - just in time for the Pope's visit!
SEAT al sol: The "SEAT al sol" solar project generates 15 million kWh of electricity every year. 53,000 solar cells on the roof of its main plant in Martorell, near Barcelona, supply the energy.
