Mercedes-Benz to Shut Down Production in Hungary for One Month
Mercedes-Benz will be shutting down production at its base in Kecskemet (C Hungary) for a winter break from December 18 until January 20, 2025, the local unit of the German car maker said.

Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary said that during the break the plant is undergoing significant transformation work in preparation for the production of new models based on the MMA and MB.EA platforms.

The company said Mercedes-Benz is continuously optimizing its production network in order to operate at optimal capacity and to respond to fluctuations in demand using the available flexibility.

The Mercedes-Benz Group achieved stable sales in the third quarter despite model changes, a challenging market environment and tough competition, especially in China, it added.

Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary had EUR 5.1bn revenue last year. Headcount at the unit averaged 4,477 in 2023.
