UROVESA, legally URO Vehiculos Especiales S.A., was founded in 1981 and presents itself as a designer and manufacturer of high-performance multipurpose vehicles for customers that need rugged off-road mobility. Its public product range centers on the VAMTAC tactical vehicle family and the TT URO off-road truck, both offered in defence and security branches as well as industry and other-sector configurations.

The manufacturer combines production in Valga, Pontevedra, with after-sales and integrated logistics support from Santiago de Compostela. UROVESA says the Valga facilities include manufacturing, assembly, management, design, R+D+I, and a test track, with production capacity up to 5,000 vehicles per year depending on contracts and configurations. Spanish Ministry of Defence reporting also describes UROVESA as a land-sector reference firm with international projection and nearly 300 direct employees.

Public official sources place UROVESA in a dual-use vehicle niche: military mobility, special vehicles, spare-parts support, training, technical assistance, and civilian adaptations all draw on the same off-road truck and tactical-vehicle industrial base.
