HISTORY The Jeppener plant was founded in 1949 by Nello Sequenza, an Italian immigrant, with the aim of producing sewing machines. After producing motorcycle engines for 10 years, in 1962 he began producing parts and components for the Citroën 2CV, marking the beginning of his long relationship with the automotive industry, which continues to this day. In 1981 the firm was bought by the Sevel group, at which time it expanded the production of parts and assemblies for the Fiat and Peugeot brands. In 1998, when the PSA Group took over the operation of Peugeot and Citroën in the region, the Jeppener facilities became part of the French group together with the El Palomar plant. As part of a global strategy, in 2018 PSA decided to sell the plant, reaching an agreement with the CLAPP Group to continue the operation. CSR CLAPP is a company that is inserted and works together with the communities where its plants are located.
