Our transporters stand for the highest level of technical and qualitative know-how. This also applies to our roughly 6,600 employees here at the Düsseldorf site, who are responsible for the production of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with around 150,000 vans per year, among other things.
Düsseldorf is the tail unit for vans of the Mercedes-Benz GroupAG. All closed variants of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter are produced here, i.e. The plant covers an area of approximately 700,000 m² and produces almost 700 transporters per working day in three-shift operation.
The variety in the shell construction of the Sprinter is impressive: different lengths, heights, door arrangements, weight classes as well as left and right-hand control add up to well over 1,000 basic combination possibilities
One of the most impressive stations is the Pane Gluing Centre, the world’s largest of its kind. This is where robots use all the windows of the vehicle with the highest precision.
