Even though the new A-Class isn’t offered in several important markets around the world including North America, demand for the compact-sized premium hatchback has surpassed initial expectations with Mercedes-Benz having received more than 40,000 orders to date well before the market launch in mid-September.

"We thus signed Valmet as an experienced production specialist who will provide us with additional A-Class capacities as of 2013. Our aim is to optimally serve customer demand and keep delivery times of our new A-Class as short as possible in the interest of our customer," he added. 

Last week, Mercedes-Benz revealed that aside from the upcoming CLA sports sedan, the A-Class will also form the base for a new small SUV, to be built at Rastatt. 

 

For this reason, the German automaker will invest close to €400 million (US$485 million) in 2012 and 2013 in components that will only be used for the new compacts.
