Automotive manufacturer BMW Group has selected GXO Logistics to manage operations at its Swindon manufacturing plant.
Under the new partnership, the third-party logistics provider will lead the warehouse operations of car parts in Swindon, which produces pressed parts for the MINI vehicles assembled in Oxford as well as BMW models produced at other international facilities.
“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.”
GXO said it will draw on its experience across multiple sectors as it looks “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 its supply chain.
BMW Group’s 425,000m2 (c. 4.6 million ft2) Swindon site employs around workers. It manufactures body components and sub-assemblies such as doors, bonnets, tailgates and fenders for MINI vehicles.
This partnership marks a milestone in GXO’s expansion in the UK automotive sector.
Recently, GXO announced it had been awarded logistics contracts with BAE Systems and London Luton airport.
