SANTANA-MOTOR, S.A. likvideeritakse!

Postitus Postitas landy »

With the change of industrial partner from Suzuki to Fiat-Iveco, Santana broke its relations with Suzuki in 2009 and since then it no longer made any Suzuki car under license. The breaking of the partnership with Santana meant that in many countries like Spain, Suzuki no longer supported the cars that were made by Santana under the Suzuki license and brand, and addressed the owners to Santana because it considered them as Santana's cars. This represents a serious problem for many Suzuki versions that were exclusively made by Santana, from which it is difficult to find new parts.

Because Suzuki had kept the distribution network owned by Santana before, Santana was not able to sell the cars that it was manufacturing under its own brand. Only the access to the commecial network of Iveco would have allowed the company to go on. However, In 2010, the sales of the Iveco Massif were not as expected and Iveco decided to stop the agreement with Santana.

In 2011 the owner of the company, the Government of Andalusia, decided to close the Santana Motor company and its car factory and 1,341 people were laid off or retired prematurely.[1][9] From 6,692 cars made in 2007, the company manufactured 1,197 in 2009 and no more than 769 in 2010.
