BMW reaches production milestone at Warwickshire engine plant
BMW Group has celebrated a major production milestone at its engine plant in Warwickshire.
The facility at Hams Hall has manufactured four million power units in the 15 years it has been operational.
To mark the occasion, the plant organised a special family day for its workers, attended by more than 1,500 people.
The workforce and their families got the opportunity to learn about BMW’s vision for future mobility, plus the chance to see a display of classic cars including a BMW M1 and a BMW 327. Also on display were electric and hybrid models currently available including the i8 plug-in hybrid sports car and the BMW 225xe – both of which Hams Hall employees have a direct hand in crafting.
Plant Director, Markus Fallboehmer said: “Family day is a great way for us to thank our employees here at Hams Hall. Since 2001 we’ve built in excess of four million engines for BMWs and MINIs and that success is down to the passion and dedication of everyone in the team here.”
The plant today produces petrol power units for MINI as well as the BMW Group’s latest hybrid models. The plant also has one of the most modern and advanced, high-tech machining halls where the capability to machine engine components has trebled since a major investment in recent years.
