"The Mercedes-office-machines GmbH was founded in 1906 by Gustav Mez with acquired from the Daimler Motor works brand name in Berlin. Two years later the company moved in to Mehlis. There was qualified by the local production of weapons and cheap mechanic.

In a new factory building, production of typewriters and calculating machines in the station near Zella-Mehlis West was taken. Multiple production facilities had to be extended. By the end of the Second World War left a number of mechanical and electro-mechanical models of writing, computing and accounting machinery the work, including 1921/1922 Mercedes Electra engineer Carl Schlüns.

As early as the 1960s with the development of computers, the brand started Cellatron that now the range of operation, which was incorporated in 1977 in the Kombinat Robotron, until the end of its existence in 1990, certain. After the end of the GDR and the end of the Robotron Combine had come, so that these have all been demolished buildings at the site of the former Mercedes-work."
