Spanish defense company Indra is investing 18 million euros in a new facility in As Pontes, Galicia. This step expands the Indra military vehicle factory network across northern Spain. The site covers over 50,000 square meters and will create 70 to 120 skilled jobs, along with indirect positions in local supply chains.
Expanding Industrial Capacity in Northern Spain
The new facility joins Indra's existing plant in Gijón. Together, they establish a primary European defense hub Indra relies on for land-based platforms. Indra is also evaluating locations for a third factory in the region. Once complete, these sites will produce up to 500 military vehicles annually. Engineering professionals looking for roles in defense tech can explore open tech jobs.
Advanced Manufacturing for Modern Armed Forces
The As Pontes site will focus on integrating amphibious combat vehicles, bridge-laying platforms, and wheeled artillery systems for the Spanish Armed Forces. The facility will feature a dedicated test track to speed up testing and validation.
This project reflects a broader Indra Land Vehicles expansion effort, backed by over 200 million euros in total investment. The strategy aims to build highly digitalized, automated factories capable of delivering equipment faster and more efficiently.
