Celebrating 100 Years At The Mercedes-Benz Manheim Plant: Introduction

This year marks a historic milestone for Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz  
Manheim plant, for it was 100 years ago that this location kicked off  
production under the joint stock company Benz & Cie., Rheinische  
Gasmotoren-Fabrik.  To celebrate the milestone, Mercedes today has  
published a fantastic look back at the history of the plant,  
detailing both its origins and its evolution over the past century.   
For those of you unfamiliar with the plant or the history of Mercedes  
in general, I think you'll find both intriguing and informative.

Because of its length - there are a total of seven parts in all - I'm  
going to let the press releases take it from here.  Regular  
programming will commence, however, following the Mercedes-Benz  
Manheim plant coverage.

So without further ado, we'll kick things off with a brief  
introduction of the plant, and be sure to stay tuned for a total of  
six more Mercedes-Benz Manheim plant installments.
