It was founded in the year 1950 as subsidiary of Fiat, with an important share of the Spanish Government. After the withdrawal of Fiat, the Volkswagen Group, through its parent company VAG, became in the year 1986 the major shareholder, and in 1990 owner of a 100% of the company. The acronym "SEAT" means Sociedad EspaŅola de AutomŪviles de Turismo (Spanish Corporation of Private Cars).
