BMW announced last month that a $900 million investment is expected to generate 300 new jobs in South Carolina by expanding its X-model family. The production of the new BMWX4 will occur at the Spartanburg, South Caronlia plant.   The production requires, not only a significant investment, but a number a new jobs to help prepare the facility for the new model.

“I am delighted to announce today, over the next three years, we plan to invest nearly $900 million. With this investment, we will be able to produce 350,000 units here in the mid-term,” said Frank Peter Arndt, BMW Group Board Member. “This is one reaction to the rising global demand for our BMW X Models.”

The plant plans to raise production capacities up to 300,000 units, and by the end of the year,  the plant will have nearly 7,500 employees.

BMW is seeing a great economic success despite all economic odds.  The partnership between the company and the state of South Carolina is an example of how the South Carolina plans to retain and grow business and stimulate job creation.

The total investment to the state is nearly $6 billion since 1992 with the development of over 2 million vehicles.
