The Mercedes-Benz plant in Ludwigsfelde (Brandenburg) has every reason to celebrate: 84 years after the site was founded, the 1.5-millionth commercial vehicle has rolled off the production line there. Since its establishment, the plant has built engines for various companies and, since 1965, commercial vehicles from various brands.
“For over 55 years, Ludwigsfelde has been producing commercial vehicles that have one thing in common: quality. And this can only be achieved if you have a team on-board that works on the products with true dedication and competence, giving their all even in challenging times. I would like to sincerely thank all of our colleagues for their commitment,” says Ingo Ettischer, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans Operations, on the special occasion.
“The third generation of the Sprinter is currently being built here in Ludwigsfelde. It is our most successful model and will continue to be in the future. With almost 820,000 vans bearing a three-pointed star produced to date, and in particular with the so-called open model variants, Ludwigsfelde has played a key role in making us the leading supplier in the large van segment today,” says Markus Keicher, Site and Production Manager at the Mercedes-Benz Ludwigsfelde plant and Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Ludwigsfelde GmbH.
