Company history

The company is headquartered in Caracas and belonged to Sojitz until the end of 2015.[1] It was founded in 1990. The basis was an agreement between the factory owner CIF and the Japanese group Iwai (predecessor of Sojitz), which increased their initial equity stake of 49% over time to 98%. The production of automobiles by Mitsubishi Motors also started in 1990.[2] The work is located in Barcelona.[2]

On December 10, 2015, "Grupo Sylca", also known as "Grupo Yammine", took over the plant with around 1300 to 1400 employees.[3] On June 1, 2016, Alfredo Orán replaced former President Yoshiro Uero, who had led the company from 2012.[4]
