The Mercedes-Benz Charleston Plant was founded as DaimlerChrysler Manufacturing International in April 2006. Since then, more than 260,000 vans have rolled off the production line and since 2024 eSprinters have also been produced at the site.
The American plant, located in the US state of South Carolina, employs around 1,700 people. It is a Sprinter plant where a production area of 32,000 m² is located on the 624,000 m² site. In March 2015, an investment of 500 million dollars was announced. In January 2016, the American plant was renamed Mercedes-Benz Vans, LLC. The plant expansion also started in 2016 and its grand opening was in September 2018. In 2021, the plant in Charleston celebrated its 15th anniversary. Since January 2024, the eSprinter for the North American market has been produced here.
