Aston Martin Considering Alabama Assembly Plant To Be Near Mercedes-Benz

Aston Martin could build a new factory in the southern US state of Alabama, company boss Andy Palmer has told Autocar.

Any such a facility would be sited ‘close’ to the Mercedes factory at Tuscaloosa, Vance, which builds the M-Class, R-Class and GL-Class SUV models.

Speaking at the Britcar 24 Hour race at Silverstone, in which he is competing, Palmer told Autocar that Aston Martin has ‘had expressions of interest [in the siting of a new factory] from both many states in the US and countries around the world, including the UK.’
