Mercedes-Benz is looking for a buyer for its plant in the Moscow region

Mercedes-Benz plans to sell its assembly plant on an industrial estate in Esipovo near Moscow. It is owned by Daimler KAMAZ Rus JV (20%) and parent company Mercedes-Benz AG (80%). According to the AvtoVzglyad portal, Mercedes E-class sedans were mounted on it.

The largest Russian dealers of the German brand are participating in the tender for the acquisition of the Mercedes-Benz plant near Moscow. Unnamed Kommersant sources claim that Avtodom will likely win. In fact, according to some reports, it’s a bigger deal. This concerns not only the sale of Mercedes-Benz’s assembly production in Russia, but also the distribution rights of branded cars on the domestic market in general.

Recall that about a month and a half ago, on July 11 this year, the AvtoVzglyad portal reported that the distribution division of Mercedes-Benz in Russia, Mercedes-Benz Rus, was most likely to be sold to one of the official dealers of the brand in our country . Among the contenders for participation in such a deal were dealers of the German brand such as Avtodom, Avilon, Panavto and Major. At the time, it was especially emphasized that the factory in Esipovo was not included in the deal. Apparently, the situation has now changed and Mercedes-Benz AG has decided to completely abandon its direct presence in Russia.
