Mercedes-Benz Vans, LLC (“MBV”) is a plant in North Charleston, South Carolina that assembles Sprinter vans for the U.S. market under the brands Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner. The midsize Metris van was added to the assembly line in 2015. The current assembly process, referred to as “semi-knockdown,” involves the re-assembly of vans originally produced in Germany and Spain and partially disassembled for shipping to the U.S.

Mercedes-Benz Vans, LLC announced in March 2015 that it will invest $500 million in construction of a new Sprinter production plant, in addition to an expansion of existing operations. In July 2016, MBV officially broke ground on the site of its new plant, located next to existing operations in the North Charleston area. The MBV facility will provide up to 1,300 jobs by the end of the decade.

MBV values its longstanding relationship with Charleston County government leaders, Charleston Regional Development Alliance, the South Carolina Ports Authority and our growing network of local suppliers in contributing to economic growth in the region.
