BMW to create 200 jobs with $200 million investment in South Carolina

BMW has announced it is expanding its Plant Spartanburg campus in South Carolina with the construction of a new press shop. The $200 million investment will create 200 new jobs.

The 219,000-sq.-ft. press shop will take raw coils of steel, cut them into blanks, and stamp sheet metal parts for future BMW models. These components include hang-on parts such as the vehicles’ four doors, fenders, exterior body sides, and lift gate.

Plant Spartanburg’s press line will comprise five press (stamping) stations and be equipped with servo technology. Production is scheduled to begin in summer 2024.
