"Celebrating 20 years of history: smart Hambach plant writes next chapter of its success story

Highly efficient assembly and logistics processes and suppliers directly located on the plant's premises as system partners: the smart plant in Hambach, France, has stood for the success story of an innovative, particularly lean production concept since the decision was made in 1994 to build the plant. In its domain, it has set standards in the automotive industry and continues to do so. Around 1.6 million smart fortwo vehicles have rolled off the plant's production line until today. With investments of around 200 million euros for the production of the new generation of the two-seater, the plant has continued to develop the original production concept with state-of-the-art technologies and further increased production flexibility.
Hambach, France ? Around 20 years ago, the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of the former Daimler-Benz AG made one of the most important decisions in the foundation of smart: On completion of an extensive selection process, Hambach in the French region of Lorraine was chosen as the production site. Until today, around 1.6 million smart fortwo vehicles have rolled off the plant's production line; the new smart fortwo has been produced since July 2014"
