PSA Vigo Plant

The PSA Vigo plant is a Spanish car manufacturing and assembly plant owned by the French company Groupe PSA.
In April 1958 Citroën, responding to the high tariff barriers that protected Spain's domestic auto-makers, established the Vigo car plant in Galicia. As of 2011 the Vigo car plant is one of the largest employers in the region, with 9,700 on the payroll in 2007. It's the company's largest plant outside France with mostly outsourced employees.

The plant's origins go back to the establishment at Vigo in April 1958 of "Citroën Hispania", employing, during that first year, approximately 100 people. The choice of Vigo arose from the presence of the port and from the tax advantages arising from the existence of a government created "freeport" zone. The first vehicle produced was the Furgoneta AZU, a locally assembled small 2CV van, which would be joined at the plant a year later by the passenger car version of the same vehicle. During the first year 400 were produced.
