Spartanburg, S.C.-based BMW Manufacturing was named 2006 “Plant of the Year” by Plant Engineering magazine. The factory was recognized for converting from a dual assembly line to a single assembly line, which streamlined the manufacturing process and improved efficiency. This coveted award is given each year to companies whose facilities demonstrate “productivity, safety and innovation” in industrial manufacturing.
