Mercedez-Benz plans major new investment in Atlanta

Mercedes-Benz will establish Atlanta as Mercedes-Benz’s headquarters in North America by centralizing and uniting key corporate functions.

The company announced Thursday it will move up to 500 jobs to the existing Mercedes-Benz facility, known as “1MB,” in Fulton County, and make a multi-million-dollar investment in a future state-of-the-art Research & Development (R&D) facility to also be located nearby.

Mercedes-Benz opened its “1MB” facility in 2018 in Sandy Springs, which currently supports approximately 800 jobs in Georgia.
