BMW Group appoints GXO to manage its Swindon site
Under the new partnership, GXO will lead the warehouse operations of car parts in Swindon, in a bid to optimise BMW Group’s supply chain and automotive production resilience in the UK.
THE SWINDON site plays a crucial role in producing pressed parts for the MINI vehicles assembled at the BMW Group plant in Oxford as well as BMW models produced at other international facilities within the BMW Group.
Drawing on experience across multiple sectors, GXO will look to roll out smarter processes, upgrade technology and optimise the plant layout to support BMW Group’s drive for greater efficiency, innovation and resilience across their supply chain.
The Swindon site, employing over 500 colleagues and spanning 425,000 square metres, has been a cornerstone of UK automotive manufacturing since 1955.
“We’re excited to begin this new chapter with BMW Group at their facility in Swindon,” said Martin Cooper, managing director, technology and consumer goods, GXO UK&I. “We’ve seen great success applying smart logistics solutions across a range of industries, and we look forward to driving efficiencies, strengthening resilience and building a future-proof platform for growth for BMW Group.”
