Düsseldorf, Germany – 60 years of vans from Mercedes‑Benz, including the iconic #sprinter van as well as historic legends such as the 'Bremer' and the 'Düsseldorfer' - that's what the Mercedes‑Benz plant in Düsseldorf can look back on today. At the beginning of the 1960s, the then Daimler‑Benz AG took over the Düsseldorf plant from #auto Union. Founded in 1962, it has developed into the largest van plant of today's Mercedes‑Benz Group AG. To date, more than 4.9 million vehicles have been produced at the site. The panel vans of the Mercedes‑Benz #sprinter have been coming off the production line here since 1995, and since the end of 2019 the #esprinter as well. Innovation and quality are the hallmarks of the plant, as they were on day one.

"I would like to congratulate the plant and the team on their 60th birthday - a very special #anniversary. The Düsseldorf plant has always been a supporting pillar in our global production network. With the start of #esprinter series production at the end of 2019, the team has proven this once again," says Dr #ingoettischer, Head of Operations at #mercedesbenz Vans. "I would like to thank the team, which is already preparing for the next generation of the #esprinter with the greatest commitment and full dedication. Added to this is the increasing digitalisation of production. All this requires innovative strength, know-how and professionalism - which the Düsseldorf team impressively demonstrates every day."

"The state capital Düsseldorf also warmly congratulates the #mercedesbenz plant in Düsseldorf. We have been in very good contact with the plant for decades and have been able to support the company in recent years in expanding the plant in order to further position the location for the future," says Düsseldorf's Lord Mayor Dr #stephankeller. "We expressly welcome the fact that Mercedes‑Benz, an internationally active mobility and industrial company, has been based in Düsseldorf for 60 years and look forward to further cooperation."

The workforce makes a significant contribution to the success of the plant and Mercedes‑Benz Vans. Michael Hellmann, Head of the Mercedes‑Benz plant in Düsseldorf: "This #anniversary would not be possible without our employees. The high quality, also in the area of eVans, is ensured in Düsseldorf by a competent and committed team, which always shows a high degree of flexibility and thereby excellent performance even in challenging times. For that, I thank my team very much and look forward to building the next generation of the #esprinter from 2023."
