About Mercedes Benz
Mercedes-Benz South Africa Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Mercedes-Benz Group that was established to support the production of passenger and commercial vehicles in South Africa. The company’s history in the country began in 1896 with the import of the first Benz automobile, the Benz Velo. In 1954, Daimler-Benz established its first official office in South Africa, strengthening its operations in the local market. Four years later, in 1958, the company partnered with Car Distributors and Assemblers (CDA) in East London to manufacture the W120, W121, and W180 models.

Following the global merger in 1999, Mercedes-Benz South Africa was renamed DaimlerChrysler South Africa (Pty) Ltd. as part of the restructuring of its parent organization. After the two companies later separated, the South African business resumed the name Mercedes-Benz South Africa (Pty) Ltd. at the end of 2007. By 2013, the company had expanded its operations considerably and employed more than 2,700 people across South Africa.
