Spanish Government Officials Visit Desay SV's New Factory in Linares
Recent Developments at Desay SV in Linares
In a noteworthy week for industrial development in southern Spain, Desay SV welcomed two delegations from the Spanish government to its upcoming factory site in Linares. These visits emphasized the strategic importance of the Desay SV project as a cornerstone of Andalusia's industrial revitalization. By injecting new life into the local economy, the factory aims to create quality jobs and position Linares as a hub for intelligent mobility and high-tech manufacturing.
The Impact of Desay SV's Factory
Spain has long held a vital position in the global automotive sector, and the establishment of the Desay SV factory in Linares marks a pivotal step in the company’s international expansion strategy. Officially inaugurated in July 2024, this facility is set to be completed in late 2025, with production expected to commence in 2026. Desay SV aims to manufacture 1.5 million automotive displays annually by 2028, delivering cutting-edge technologies for vehicle interiors and driving assistance to a global clientele.
Support from Andalusian Government
On June 24, 2025, Juanma Moreno, the President of Andalusia, visited the Santana Scientific and Technological Park to monitor construction progress for the future factory. He congratulated Desay SV for introducing powerful touchscreen displays to the automotive market and noted the company’s vital role in restoring the local automotive ecosystem. The project represents a significant Chinese investment in Andalusia and aims to create a comprehensive value chain that will bolster the region’s economic development. Moreno likened the initiative to a successful industrial revitalization example, citing the closure of Santana Motor 14 years prior.
During his visit, Moreno also announced future support measures, including additional regional incentives and administrative assistance for businesses within the park, including Desay SV, aiming to reinforce the area's status as a leading automotive center in Andalusia.
National Strategic Initiative
Two days later, on June 26, Jordi Hereu, the Minister of Industry and Tourism for the Spanish government, visited the facility, reaffirming support from the central government. Desay SV has received €5.5 million from the PERTE VEC III program to promote sustainable transportation and industrial modernization. Hereu described the factory project as a flagship strategic initiative for the transformation of the automotive sector in Spain, stating, "After decades of deindustrialization in Europe, Spain and Andalusia are now entering a new industrial era." He emphasized the strong collaboration between Spanish and Chinese companies, highlighting a shared ambition to lead the future of mobility together.
In the face of ongoing international instability, Desay SV is actively deepening its internationalization strategy, establishing a presence in markets such as Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia, while strengthening its regional service networks. The intelligent factory project in Spain is essential for Desay SV to solidify its position within the global automotive supply chain, delivering innovative and competitive products as well as highly efficient services.
With a vision for modern transportation and smart manufacturing, Desay SV's new facility represents a substantial opportunity for both the company and the region, marking a new chapter in Andalusia's industrial landscape.
