Struggling US car parts manufacturer Delphi is to close one of its factories in Cadiz, southern Spain.
Up to 1,650 jobs are at risk at the site as a result of the move, prompting unions to stage a protest at the plant.
Delphi said it had decided to close the factory - which produces steering, suspension and bearings - as high prices meant it was not competitive.
Delphi filed for bankruptcy in 2005, a move that hurt its former parent and top client, US carmaker General Motors.
Since then the firm has outlined plans to close a number of factories across the globe and cut several business lines.
