BMW Manufacturing Co. will throw a party on Monday to announce a major expansion at its Spartanburg County plant. The Herald-Journal first reported on the company's plans in February. The official announcement will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at the Zentrum.
BMW Manufacturing spokesman Bobby Hitt would not reveal any details.
“We've sent out invitations to several hundred business and political leaders,” Hitt said. “We'll make an announcement (on Monday) about an additional investment in our plant.”
The expansion is part of BMW's plan for the plant to produce 240,000 vehicles a year by 2012. The factory is expected to build between 160,000 and 170,000 vehicles this year. It achieved its record production in 2003, when it cranked out 166,000 vehicles.
