The automotive supplier Sumitomo Electric Wiring Systems will build a new production facility for high-voltage wiring harnesses in Cuenca, Spain. According to the company, these are to be used in the electric cars of Seat and Volkswagen, which are built in Martorell and Navarra. With the decision for the plant, Sumitomo wants to be geographically close to its customers.

It is Sumitomo's first production facility in Spain and the 23rd worldwide. The company has been represented in Spain since 2001 with a customer service center in Pamplona and since 2012 with a development center in Martorell. For the new production project, which starts at the end of 2025, around 350 employees are to be hired.

The new location in Cuenca is expected to use an automated production process. It is developed together with the sister companies of the Sumitomo Electric Group, the company announces. Since product complexity decreases in the high voltage area, this is particularly suitable for automated production.
