Michael Frieß, Location Manager and Head of Production at the Mercedes-Benz Bremen Plant:

"Our Bremen team has done a great job in the last few months. Despite the challenges imposed this year, our employees have successfully managed the start-up of the new C-Class and at the same time provided optimal support to our colleagues in the other C-Class plants. We are proud of this, and are already looking forward to more Bremen start-ups in 2021".

Michael Peters, Chairman of the Works Council at the Mercedes-Benz Bremen Plant:

"Our colleagues have once again proved their strength in start-ups. We share in everyone's delight about the new C-Class "made in Bremen". Bremen has always stood for team spirit and a wealth of experience, and these particularly come to the fore during start-ups. We can therefore face the future with great confidence."
