AHG Hoffmann GmbH & Co. KG

What AHG Hoffmann GmbH & Co. KG does

AHG Hoffmann GmbH & Co. KG is an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership group operating three locations (Tamm, Ludwigsburg, Murr) in the Ludwigsburg district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The company traces its origins to 1950 when founder Franz Hoffmann received the Mercedes representation for the region, and the current legal entity was formed in 1973 through the merger of Hoffmann (Ludwigsburg), Janiak (Asperg), and Schreiber (Murr) into the Autohandelsgesellschaft (AHG). The full Hoffmann family took over the remaining AHG shares in 2009. The business is structured as a German Kommanditgesellschaft with AHG Hoffmann Verwaltungs-GmbH as the general partner and is led by managing directors Christian Euler and Dirk Seidenspinner.

The company's revenue model combines new and used vehicle sales (Junge Sterne certified pre-owned, Jahreswagen year-old vehicles, used commercial transporters via the TGC center), manufacturer-authorized aftersales (Service A/B maintenance, TÜV/Dekra Hauptuntersuchung, body and paint repair, tire and wheel service), genuine parts and accessories, Mercedes-Benz Rent rental, and referrals to Mercedes-Benz Bank AG financing and Mercedes-Benz Leasing. Distribution spans physical showrooms (including the renovated MAR20X concept at Tamm), the Mercedes-Benz online store integration, fleet sales, and the TGC used-transporter center. Historical throughput at Tamm was approximately 900 new passenger cars, 200 transporters, and 100 heavy trucks annually.

AHG Hoffmann has publicly announced that it will discontinue Mercedes-Benz new car sales as of 2025-12-31, transitioning to a service-led business focused on authorized maintenance and repair, certified pre-owned vehicles, fleet and taxi customers, and complementary offerings (Mercedes me digital services, MB.CHARGE public charging, Wallbox, camper van service). The 2025 acquisition of Autohaus Schreiber in Murr extends the service footprint, while the Tamm MAR20X renovation and the 2013 Nutzfahrzeug-Center buildout reflect ongoing investment in the regional retail and aftersales infrastructure.
