Where are Sprinter vans manufactured?

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a global workhorse built to serve many markets around the world. The core of its production takes place at two Mercedes-Benz Vans plants: Düsseldorf in Germany and Charleston in the United States. These sites supply fleets and dealers worldwide, with regional assembly and customization to meet local requirements.


As with many modern commercial vehicles, the Sprinter’s manufacturing involves a network that can include regional assembly, CKD (completely knocked down) kits, and local conversions to adapt to market regulations, demand, and specification differences. For the most up-to-date factory assignments, consulting Mercedes-Benz Vans’ official materials or your local dealer is recommended.


Global production footprint


The two primary production hubs form the backbone of Sprinter manufacturing, while regional operations support local markets as needed.



  • Düsseldorf, Germany

    The main production site for Sprinters destined for Europe and many international markets, featuring full-vehicle assembly and customization options.

  • Charleston, South Carolina, USA

    The North American assembly site, producing Sprinters for the United States, Canada, and nearby regions.


These core locations reflect the current generation’s manufacturing strategy, though Mercedes-Benz Vans also relies on regional facilities and kit-based supply to tailor production to specific markets and regulatory environments.


What this means for buyers and fleets


Knowing where Sprinters are built helps explain market-specific specifications, potential lead times, and service network considerations. Mercedes-Benz maintains a global dealer and service footprint to support Sprinter owners wherever the vans are sold.


Summary: Sprinter vans are manufactured primarily at two core sites—Düsseldorf, Germany, and Charleston, USA—with regional assembly and customization supporting local markets as needed. This structure enables a global supply chain while accommodating market-specific requirements.
