BARCELONA, Feb. 5 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Seat plant in Martorell (Barcelona) will work every weekend in March to manufacture 4,300 more cars and thus respond to the increase in demand, especially of the Ibiza and Arona models, have confirmed the company’s source to Europa Press.
It was agreed by the inter-center committee and the management of the company last week in a meeting to approve the calendar set for the month of March, according to La Vanguardia.
The planning for March includes nine additional shifts on line 1, where Ibiza and Arona are manufactured, distributed on Saturdays 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 in the morning, and on Sundays 3, 10, 24 and 31 the night.
It also adds three shifts for line 2, which the León produces, on Saturdays 16, 23 and 30 in the morning, while line 3 does not provide additional days.
Seat closed 2018 with 517,600 vehicles registered worldwide, representing an increase of 10.5% compared to the previous year and the largest volume of sales of the company in its 68-year history.
