Mercedes-Benz will hold a ceremonial groundbreaking Wednesday for the latest expansion at its Alabama auto plant: a 900,000-square-foot parts consolidation center.
The facility will create about 600 jobs, although plans are still being finalized and it's not clear how many of those people will be employed by Mercedes or its contractors and service providers. A combination of all three are expected to work from the facility, which will streamline logistics operations and support the receiving, handling and sequencing of parts.
