BMW is expanding its logistics operations at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina with a $100m new logistics centre that will be nearly 1m sq. ft (93,000 sq.m), with room for expansion.
The logistics centre is part of an effort to consolidate logistics facilities and processes at the US plant, which is the largest BMW Group production site globally, rolling out more than 1,500 vehicles each day.
Dr Robert Engelhorn, president and CEO of BMW Manufacturing, the division that runs the plant, said that the move would increase efficiency and reduce emissions, even as it gives the carmaker more room to expand at the plant.
