Sindelfingen delivers bodies made in series

Date:
Autumn 1928
Description:
The construction of a press shop at the Daimler-Benz plant in Sindelfingen allows bodies for the passenger cars assembled in Untertürkheim to be manufactured in series rather than single-piece production. This is the first time that deep-drawing presses supplied by Weingarten are used in the series production of large body components of Daimler-Benz.
