Almusafes is best known for being a key player in Spain’s automotive industry, as it is home to a major Ford Motor Company plant. This plant has been a cornerstone of the local economy for decades, attracting a workforce from surrounding areas and contributing significantly to the town’s prosperity. The automotive sector remains the largest employer, but the town is also involved in agriculture, particularly in citrus production and horticulture.
The local economy also benefits from small businesses and traditional crafts. The town’s strategic location near Valencia’s metropolitan area means it benefits from regional trade, services, and business opportunities. Visitors can explore local markets where artisans sell handcrafted goods, including ceramics and textiles, which are emblematic of Valencian heritage.
