Mercedes Manufacturing Excellence… in Alabama.

Welcome to Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, U.S.A, and the factory where the newest member of the Mercedes-Benz line - the M-Class is assembled. Everything is under one roof, from Body, Paint and Assembly shops to administration, to help emphasize the teamwork we use to build the M-Class.

The M-Class is built "just-in-time". It is a manufacturing method based on the idea that we do not stockpile large amounts of inventory in order to assemble the M-Class. In fact, in the assembly shop we only keep about 2 hours of inventory in stock, whereas in the body shop we have approximately. three hours line side. Once our automated system places orders - it is delivered almost immediately.

The vehicle begins the assembly process in the Body Shop where the metal body is welded together. From the ultra-cleanPaint Shop the painted body finishes its journey in Assembly where it becomes a new Mercedes-Benz M or R-Class ready for shipping. From beginning to end, our Mercedes-Benz vehicles are created with style, functionality, and quality in mind.

The Energy Center makes the whole assembly process possible. Team members in the Energy Center work around the clock in three shifts to make sure that we have all the electricity, natural gas, compressed air, and various waters used in the manufacturing process. The energy required at full production is approximately 50 million watts (roughly the same as 10,000 typical homes)
