Sevel Argentina S.A. was an Argentine automobile company established in 1981 that produced and marketed Fiat, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, and Citroën vehicles for the local market until it was dissolved in 1999. The company was created by merging Fiat's and Peugeot's Argentine operations (Fiat Concord and SAFRAR).[2][3]
Entrepreneur Franco Macri had a controlling stake in Sevel, which would become as the largest automaker in Argentina.[4] Franco's son and former president of Argentina, Mauricio Macri, was in charge of Sevel (first as vice-president and then as president of the company) in the early 1990s.[5][6]
