Mercedes-Benz is known all over the world as one of the most capable and forward-thinking luxury manufacturers, but unless you’ve done your research, parts of this company will surely be shrouded in mystery! Who owns Mercedes-Benz, anyway? How did they establish the leading reputation that they have today? Here’s everything you need to know.
The Mercedes-Benz Corporation is part of Daimler AG, also known as the Daimler Group. Although Mercedes-Benz is their most well-known subsidiary, Daimler currently manufactures a wide range of high-quality cars, buses, motorcycles. From 1926 to 1998, they were known as “Daimler-Benz AG”. Daimler AG and the Mercedes-Benz Corporation both currently have their headquarters in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Mercedes-AMG® is headquartered roughly 20 miles away, in Affalterbach.
The impeccable reputation of Mercedes-Benz is the product of more than a century of innovation. Karl Benz invented the first gas-powered automobile in 1886, and the Daimler Motors Corporation began to market it to the public in 1901. In 1924, the two companies signed an “Agreement of Mutual Interest,” which would lead to their incorporation into a single company, in 1926. From that time on, all of the factories where their vehicles were produced would be marked by the name Mercedes-Benz.
