The centre employs 170 people who manage the company’s regional components inventory storage, testing and distribution operations, vehicle pre-delivery inspection and after-sales activities.


The decision to locate the centre in Thailand came down to sales volumes, said Wolfgang Huppenbauer, president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz (Thailand). The company expects double-digit growth in Thailand this year to over 4,000 vehicles – around twice as many cars as in any other ASEAN market.
