Mercedes-Benz Trucks Molsheim

Since 2015, MBTM has been encouraging the creativity of its teams by rewarding ideas that contribute to improving the organization. The Cogito program enables everyone to put forward optimization proposals and to be recognized for their contributions.

Valuing Our Employees

The Cogito program fully supports this ambition to highlight internal talent and allows all MBTM employees to freely submit their ideas. Each year, more than one hundred ideas are proposed, analyzed, and implemented. This approach fosters creativity, encourages problem‑solving, and strengthens engagement in continuous improvement. It demonstrates that when everyone’s ideas are taken into consideration, new solutions naturally emerge.

A System That Benefits Everyone

In addition to improving the quality, efficiency, and safety of our processes, Cogito ideas give the employees who submit them the opportunity to receive financial compensation. A virtuous system that benefits both the company and those who help drive it forward.

Testimonial of an employee

"What motivates me to submit Cogitos is the desire to contribute to improving my working environment.
Our industry is demanding and requires constant attention to efficiency, safety, and reliability. Being in daily contact with operations and processes allows me to identify areas for improvement, whether related to ergonomics, quality, cost control, or safety. Sharing these ideas is a concrete way for me to be involved and to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.

From a personal point of view, this approach brings me a lot. It encourages me to step back, sharpen my analytical skills, and go beyond my usual responsibilities. Each Cogito is an opportunity to learn, to exchange with other departments, and to better understand the company’s challenges. Seeing an idea become a reality is particularly rewarding and reinforces the feeling of being useful by making a real contribution. These improvements motivate me and strengthen my commitment by giving greater meaning to my everyday work."

Mercedes-Benz Trucks Molsheim is taking a new step in its development with the integration of pipe bending activities.

In addition to its historical parts production activities, this new operation not only broadens the site’s portfolio of activities but also strengthens its strategic position within the Daimler Truck Group.

This activity meets a wide range of needs, including the supply of pneumatic and hydraulic pipes for the Wörth and Aksaray plants, for the Molsheim site itself, as well as for the after-sales network.

With a production capacity of around one million parts per year, the pipe bending activity relies on a machine park consisting of bending machines, saws, washing machines, and dedicated 3D machines.

 This new activity also enables the recruitment of 25 people, mainly dedicated to production and its supervision.

To support this expansion, a new 2,500 m² building, adjoining the existing site, has been specially fitted out. This space makes it possible to accommodate the machines and ensure optimal organization, in direct connection with the other activities already present in Molsheim.

Through this development, MBTM confirms its key role and demonstrates its ability to innovate and diversify. This activity transfer represents a fine project that highlights the site’s expertise and opens up new prospects for the future.

In a professional environment where days are often marked by prolonged postures, repetitive movements or a fast work pace, employees’ physical well‑being becomes a major concern.

Warm‑up and stretching exercises in the workplace are now recognised as simple and effective practices to reduce muscle tension, prevent musculoskeletal disorders, and improve concentration.

At MBTM, employee health is a priority

Aware of these challenges, MBTM is strengthening its commitment to health and safety at work by implementing awareness workshops focused on warm‑up and stretching exercises.

On the agenda:

• Awareness sessions for all site managers,
• Awareness sessions and workshops for all employees on site, from production roles to office-based teams.

Our goals:

• Promote the right habits to adopt every day,
• Reduce sedentary behaviour at workstations,
• Prevent tension and injuries while improving physical mobility.

Practised regularly, these simple yet essential exercises contribute to long‑lasting well‑being.

Going further: Training workplace well‑being ambassadors

To ensure this initiative continues over time, the goal is to train dedicated contact persons through specialised training programmes.

Through these initiatives, MBTM is fostering a genuine culture of prevention within its teams.
