International builds the GLE, GLS and GLE Coupe SUVs at its Tuscaloosa County plant in Alabama. This covers the Alabama SUV production listed by Mercedes-Benz in October 2026, rather than every Mercedes model worldwide. [1]

Who actually makes Mercedes?

The Tuscaloosa County operation has two body shops feeding a paint shop and two assembly shops. Mercedes-Benz separately lists its Bibb County battery plant, so that battery location should be distinguished from complete SUV assembly. [1]

Where was your tire made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Read both sidewalls for the country-of-origin marking.
  2. Record the complete DOT tire identification number and date code.
  3. Check the specific size and production batch rather than another tire from the same brand.
