COLUMBIA, S.C. — BMW Manufacturing has announced the company will be expanding operations in Spartanburg County with the construction of a new $100 million logistics center.

The new nearly 1-million-square-foot facility, constructed by BMW's development partner Becknell Industrial, will be located on 120 acres off Freeman Farm Road and offer opportunity for future expansion. As part of the project -- and to minimize the impact of truck traffic in the area -- two private bridges will be constructed to connect the new logistics center to the BMW Campus. One bridge will go over Freeman Farm Road, the other over I-85.

When the project is completed in mid-2022, the logistics operations will be supplying parts to the 7-million-square-foot factory in Greer. The manufacturing facility has produced more than five million vehicles -- over 1,500 each day -- since opening in 1992, and has invested more than $11.4 billion in the Spartanburg County operations.
