Report: Georgia Contending Again for Sprinter Plant, 3,500 Jobs
Monday, January 19th, 2015
Maybe the third time with Sprinter will be the charm.
A newspaper report Friday said Daimler AG was yet again looking at Georgia’s “megasite” in Pooler, near Savannah, for a Sprinter van plant. Daimler twice kicked the tires there last decade but never sealed a deal to build a factory.
Andrea Berg, a spokeswoman with Daimler in New York, confirmed earlier statements that the company has decided to build a new van plant in “the NAFTA region,” which is North America and refers to a well-known trade agreement. The United States, she said, is the second-largest sales market for the vans with nearly 26,000 unit sales in 2014.
