Mercedes-Benz Plant East London.

The Mercedes-Benz East London plant is part of the global production network for the C-Class. On South Africa’s Eastern Cape, C-Class sedan cars for right and left-hand drive markets are produced for export. Since the production launch in 2021, the current C-Class, the sixth vehicle generation of the high-volume model, has been manufactured here.

In 1958 Car Distributors Assembly Ltd. began contract manufacturing for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In 1984 the then Daimler-Benz AG acquired 50.1 percent of United Cars and Diesel Distributors UCDD. Since then, the company has been registered as Mercedes-Benz of South Africa (MBSA).
