Mercedes-Benz USA has opened a new 415,000-square-foot facility in Jacksonville, Florida. The company will locate four business units there: its Sales Operations Southern Regional Office, Parts Distribution Center, Quality Evaluation Center, and Learning and Performance Center. Approximately 160 employees will work at the facility.

"The new state-of-the-art facility incorporates Mercedes-Benz Autohaus design that many dealers have adopted throughout the U.S. Now we have one common look and feel for our corporate operations in the region across all our key business units," said Ernst Lieb, CEO of MBUSA. "By linking our core operations in one building, we can also create better efficiencies that will benefit our dealer network and our customers."

MBUSA has headquarters in Montvale, New Jersey.
