CAAR -ASOCIACIÓN CLUSTER DE AUTOMOCIÓN DE ARAGÓN

The Automotive Cluster of Aragon, hereinafter CAAR, is a cluster-type association, which was set up as a private and independent non-profit association in 2008.

According to the founding charter, its objectives are:

·           To encourage companies in the automotive sector of Aragon to cooperate and collaborate in projects, thus improving the efficiency of their operations.

·           To foster R&D&i in the automotive sector in Aragon as well as to promote the use of new technologies.

·           To improve Human Resources management and training.

·           To improve the competitiveness of member companies. 

Today, after a few years during which both membership and activity saw a steady growth, CAAR is currently consolidating and strengthening its position. We already include 45 companies and 6 organizations of various natures.

In 2014, our companies employed over 7,000 people and had a turnover of more than EUR 1,500 million. Our clients were the leading Spanish car manufacturers – it must be remembered that most car manufacturing plants in our country are located within 300 miles from Zaragoza.

But our products are not only sold to Spanish plants but also directly exported to various European plants, which account for approximately 35% of our turnover.
