At Broseta, we continue to move forward and are pleased to announce that we have recently signed a collaboration agreement with the Spanish Association of Automotive Suppliers (SERNAUTO) aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of the Spanish automotive components industry and exploring new opportunities in strategic sectors, particularly defense.

In the current context of the automotive sector—characterized by stagnant demand and declining production volumes in Europe—an increasing number of suppliers are seeking to diversify their activities and position themselves in industries with greater growth potential. In this scenario, the defense sector presents a key opportunity for automotive suppliers, thanks to its strong technological, productive, and industrial capabilities.

Through this collaboration, Broseta will provide SERNAUTO members and partner firms with structured knowledge of the defense sector, create channels of collaboration and trust between the two industries, and offer strategic support to identify relevant opportunities.

As highlighted by Cristina San Martín Sánchez, Director of Coordination, Projects, and Services at SERNAUTO, “This agreement responds to the need to support automotive suppliers at a critical moment for the industry and to facilitate their access to expanding sectors such as defense, which is undergoing investment, modernization, and a strengthening of strategic autonomy. It is an opportunity for automotive companies to diversify by leveraging their technological and productive capabilities and to add value through their solid experience in complex supply chains. In this context, SERNAUTO can play a driving role by connecting both sectors and fostering new industrial collaboration opportunities.”

In the words of Rosa María Vidal Monferrer, Managing Partner at Broseta, regarding this agreement: “We want to boost the competitiveness of the automotive sector by supporting companies through the transformation processes they are undertaking, which require specialized legal advice. One of our objectives is to help SERNAUTO members identify opportunities that may arise in other strategic sectors, such as defense and security.”
