AMG at Affalterbach.

Facts and figures

Mercedes-Benz Plant Affalterbach.

Mercedes-AMG, headquartered in Affalterbach, is the high-performance and sports car brand of Mercedes-Benz. Founded in 1967 by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher as an “engineering, design and testing office for the development of racing engines,” the company soon established itself in motor racing. In 1971, the AMG Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8 won its class at the 24-hour race in Spa and took second place overall. In the years that followed, the young company continued to grow and equipped other Mercedes models with its performance technology. The working relationship with Mercedes-Benz became even closer in 1990, when a cooperation agreement opened up the brand’s global sales network to AMG.

Since 2005, Mercedes-AMG has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG and, driven by a passion for motorsport and innovative engineering, has developed into the driving force behind the Group’s high-performance engineering activities.

In addition to the development, testing and design of AMG vehicles, the Affalterbach site in the Stuttgart area is also home to the engine manufactory. Engines (V8 and R4) are assembled there according to the “One Man, One Engine” philosophy and fitted with a hand-signed plaque by the engine builder. Other engine production sites in the Mercedes-Benz Group are located in Untertürkheim and Mannheim. Affalterbach is also home to the executive management, operations, administration, and marketing and sales of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

AMG vehicles are produced at Mercedes-Benz plants around the world.
