The construction of the Martin plant commenced in December 1998 on the basis of a contract between the companies Auto Martin and VOLKSWAGEN SLOVAKIA. At the end of 1999 VW SK purchased land from Auto Martin with an area of 200 000 sq.m, together with the newly constructed production hall with an area of 19 998 sq.m. From the end of 1999 to April 2000 the construction was being finalized. The installation of manufacturing technologies for the production of components for gearboxes, axles and steering followed.

In VW SK in Martin parts are manufactured for gearboxes and chassis. These include for examples differentials, flanges, brake drums and discs, wheel hubs, flange shafts and the synchronising rings, which form the largest part of production. Components are produced for the group brands Audi and Škoda, but also for Porsche. In November 2006, the 100 millionth VW SK component was produced here.
