Mercedes-Benz Northern Ireland (MBNI) has officially opened a new £6 million truck and van aftersales facility in Dungannon.
The 15,000 sq ft premises is expected to create 20 new jobs for the area.
The new facility includes six drive-through truck maintenance bays and nine light vehicle bays, featuring technology including a tachograph rolling road.
For the first time, the company said it will also offer aftersales services for Mercedes-Benz passenger car customers.
MBNI group chief executive Pauline McKeating said the new facility, which was built in nine months, reflects the company’s commitment to Dungannon and its wider customer base.
“The site also includes an extensive parts warehouse, new electric vehicle infrastructure, and a new office for MBNI’s rental division, RentaMerc, all manned by highly qualified and professional staff, at a convenient location just off the motorway, adjacent to the M1 service area in Dungannon,” she said.
“A few years in the making, it’s great to see the plans finally come to life and this achievement is testament to the Mercedes-Benz brand, the excellent relationships we have with our franchise partners and our stellar customer service, which helps to cement our presence in Dungannon and throughout Northern Ireland.”
Ms McKeating, who became CEO of the MBNI group in 2022, last year took majority ownership from Neil McKibbin, who remains as group chair.
She said the new facility was backed by finance from Danske Bank.
