With a total annualised revenue of R33.8 billion, marginally down from 2011, the Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA) group is reflecting the positive outlook of the local vehicle market, contrary to some slower growth trends and rising inflationary pressures.

With a total annualised revenue of R33.8 billion, marginally down from 2011, the Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA) group is reflecting the positive outlook of the local vehicle market, contrary to some slower growth trends and rising inflationary pressures.

Reporting their annual results to the media at the East London production plant recently, MBSA CEO Dr Martin Zimmermann was delighted that the company had retained its market share across most sectors of the business.

“Our vans division in particular have performed beyond expectation. We are currently the benchmark in the global Daimler group thanks to superb positioning in a growing van market,” Zimmermann said.

Zimmermann gave special mention to the Eastern Cape production plant following an exceptionally successful year in 2012.

Production volumes are at an all-time high, he said, and effective collaboration with employee representative bodies had increased efficiency.

The plant once more proved its reputation as a global authority in vehicle quality excellence last year, receiving its fourth consecutive quality award in the Initial Quality Study conducted by J.D. Power and Associates in the US market.

The East London plant produces the Mercedes C-Class for both the local and US markets, and now has one platinum, two gold and one silver quality award on its corporate mantelpiece.

Zimmermann paid tribute to the plant employees for their consistent efforts at pushing the boundaries of efficiency and attention to detail.

“The positive energy in our plant is tangible. It drives the results we consistently achieve year after year, and is testament to the exceptional competence of our employees,” he said.
