BMW Manufacturing Corporation

Greer, SC United States

 

Company Description

BMW Manufacturing serves up German engineering with a little Southern hospitality on the side. The South Carolina-based company is the exclusive manufacturer of the X3 and X5 SUV, and xDrive35d (diesel), as well as the X6 Sports Activity Coupe and ActiveHybrid. The 4 million-plus sq.-ft. factory, BMW's first full manufacturing facility outside Germany and its only US plant, delivers its cars throughout the US and worldwide. One of the greenest car manufacturing facilities anywhere, BMW Manufacturing uses water-based (rather than solvent) paints and powers the plant with recycled landfill methane gas. The plant, built in 1994, averages daily output of some 600 vehicles, 80% of which are customized for buyers.
