BMW Manufacturing Builds Greer, South Carolina, Logistics Center
11/24/2021
The facility, which will be located on 120 acres off Freeman Farm Road, will enhance BMW’s logistics operations supplying parts to the 7-million-square-foot BMW factory in Spartanburg. When complete, the logistics center, being constructed by the company’s development partner Becknell Industrial, will be nearly 1 million square feet with an opportunity for future expansion.
“For nearly three decades, BMW has called South Carolina its second home. This expansion in our logistics operation represents our continued commitment to this state, and it will prepare Plant Spartanburg for the future. The new warehouse will allow us to consolidate our logistics processes as well as implement efficiency measures for a more sustainable logistics operation,” said BMW Manufacturing Co. President and CEO Robert Engelhorn.
To minimize the impact of truck traffic in the area, two private bridges will be constructed to connect the logistics center to the BMW campus: one over Freeman Farm Road and the other over Interstate 85, state officials noted. The new logistics center and bridges are expected to be operational in mid-2022.
“BMW's presence in South Carolina proved to be a catalyst for economic transformation within our borders, fueling the growth of a robust automotive sector and paving the way for South Carolina’s worldwide reputation for producing highly advanced, premium products. This new logistics operation is yet another testament to BMW’s commitment and growth plans in our state. Congratulations to BMW on their continued success,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
Since 1992, BMW Manufacturing has invested more than $11.4 billion in its Spartanburg County operations. The company’s manufacturing facility has produced more than five million vehicles, over 1,500 each day.
"BMW's continued investment in Spartanburg County has been a transformative driving force of our county's economic success over the last two-plus decades. We cannot thank BMW enough for being a dedicated partner, investing in Spartanburg and creating opportunities for its people,” Spartanburg County Councilman and Chairman of the Economic Development Committee David Britt said.
