SPARTANBURG, S.C. — BMW will pour $200 million into adding a 219,000-square-foot press shop at its manufacturing complex in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the company announced yesterday.
The expansion is expected to create more than 200 jobs, with production ramping up in the summer of 2024, according to its press release.
The press shop will take raw coils of steel, cut them into blanks and stamp sheet metal parts for future BMW models.
Those components include hang-on parts such as the vehicle’s four doors, fenders, exterior body sides and lift gate.
