Mercedes-Benz to manufacture AMG models in SA
Mercedes-Benz USA | March 16, 2017
Mercedes-Benz SA will invest over R200 million to manufacture three AMG models in the country for local and international consumption. Given that South Africa is one of the biggest consumers of the German luxury carmaker’s high-performance AMG models, it makes sense that Mercedes-Benz SA (MBSA) has made the decision to invest millions into its manufacturing plant in East London. While the vehicles’ hand-built engines will continue to be manufactured in Germany and brought into the country, all other components would be manufactured locally.
