BMW Manufacturing announced Nov. 18 a $100 million investment in building a one-million-square-foot logistics center off of Freeman Farm Road in Greer.
The facility, which is expected to open in mid-2022, will consolidate the company’s two offsite warehouse operations for returnable containers and body shop parts into one onsite location.
The company plans to use the warehouse to sort shipments from suppliers and deliver them to their respective Plant Spartanburg technologies.
“For nearly three decades, BMW has called South Carolina its second home,” said BMW Manufacturing president and CEO Robert Engelhorn. “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.”
BMW Manufacturing will also construct a private bridge over Freeman Farm Road and another one over I-85 to connect the logistics center to the BMW campus.
