Factory 56 of Mercedes-Benz: The future of production

Flexible, digital, efficient, and sustainable: Factory 56 embodies the future of production at Mercedes-Benz and sets new standards for the automotive industry. With an investment of approximately 730 million euros, the Mercedes-Benz factory in Sindelfingen's factory is committed to Germany as a business location.

Mercedes-Benz is investing about 2.1 billion euros at the Sindelfingen site. At the same time, the company is increasing efficiency in Factory 56 by 25 percent compared to the previous S-Class assembly.

The assembly hall is 100 percent flexible so that all Mercedes-Benz model series can be integrated into ongoing production in the shortest possible time, depending on demand—from compact vehicles to SUVs.

Alongside CO₂ and energy balance considerations, the sustainability approach at Mercedes-Benz has other ecological aspects. There are plants on approximately 40% of the roof area. It not only compensates for the sealed ground area but also improves the interior climate of the building by retaining rainwater.
