Excerpt from: Europe Supply Chain and Logistics Strategy

BMW is shifting production to US

The US dollar is weak against the Euro and BMW will cut 7.5% of its German workforce.

The US market is affecting many European corporations, including BMW as the US dollar continues to fall. The cost to manufacture in Europe is much higher at current currency exchange. To minimize the losses BMW plans to shift the production to its South Carolina plant. The move will allow for BMW to pay lower wages, lower cost for parts, and lower transportation cost for locally sourced products.
