SEAT's excellent result in Algeria is one of the key drivers of the surge in global sales in the first six months of 2018. SEAT reaffirms its record volume and has surpassed its highest ever sales figure with 289,900 cars delivered worldwide, which is 17.6% more than in the same period of 2017 (246,500). This success has crossed over to the Martorell factory, which has concluded one of the best first six-month periods in its history. With a volume of 283,312 vehicles manufactured, production went up by 20.6% compared to the first six months of 2017and the plant achieved a utilisation level of 95% of its current maximum capacity, which is equivalent to 2,300 cars daily. In the second half of the year, the Audi A1 is going to replace the Audi Q3 on line 3, which is expected to be at full capacity by the end of this year. SEAT is the only company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets cars in Spain. A member of the Volkswagen Group, the multinational has its headquarters in Martorell (Barcelona), exporting 80% of its vehicles, and is present in over 80 countries on all five continents. In 2017, SEAT obtained an after tax profit of 281 million euros, sold close to 470,000 cars and achieved a record turnover of more than 9.5 billion euros. The SEAT Group employs more than 15,000 professionals and has three production centres – Barcelona, El Prat de Llobregat and Martorell, where it manufactures the highly successful Ibiza, Arona and Leon. Additionally, the company produces the Ateca and the Toledo in the Czech Republic, the Alhambra in Portugal and the Mii in Slovakia. The multinational has a Technical Centre, which operates as a knowledge hub that brings together 1,000 engineers who are focussed on developing innovation for Spain's largest industrial investor in R&D. SEAT already features the latest connectivity technology in its vehicle range and is currently engaged in the company's global digitalisation process to promote the mobility of the future.
