Daimler AG is erecting a factory in Iracemapolis, Brazil, that will begin assembling as many as 20,000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedans and GLA crossovers per year in 2016.
The 500 million reais (€159 million) facility is located about 170 km northwest of Sao Paulo. Daimler notes that the plant will use significantly less automation that the company's larger Mercedes factories.
