Navantia is a Spanish defense company specializing in shipbuilding . The company is wholly owned by the state holding company SEPI .
history
The origins of Navantia go back to 1730 when shipyards for the construction and maintenance of the Spanish navy were built in Ferrol , Cartagena and San Fernando . Between 1909 and 1939 the most important Spanish shipyards were united as Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval (SECN) and owned by the British companies Vickers , Armstrong-Whitworth and John Brown & Company . After the Spanish Civil War , both military shipbuilding, under the name Bazán , and civil shipbuilding, under the name Astilleros Españoles (AESA), were nationalized. In 2000, both sectors were merged and the second largest shipyard in Europe was created under the name IZAR . At that time, however, civil shipbuilding suffered from the pressure of cheaper production in Asian countries and plunged the company into a major financial crisis. In 2005 the Spanish state decided to split off the well-functioning military shipbuilding industry, it merged with Navantia, while the civilian shipyards were privatized or liquidated.
