Founded in 1967 by Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, the company began its cooperation with Mercedes-Benz in 1990. The Affalterbach site, near Stuttgart, houses the development and design of AMG vehicles, as well as the engine production plant, management, administration and sales. It now employs more than 2,000 people, as well as a workshop where AMG customers can have their vehicles customised.
Affalterbach is the production site for V8 engines and, from spring 2019, the production site for the new high-performance 4-cylinder engines. Mannheim is another engine production site (V12 engines, including the one used in the Pagani Huayra).
