Inhaltsverzeichnis

[Bearbeiten] Wirtschaft

Wirtschaftliche Bedeutung für Spartanburg hat insbesondere das einzige in Nordamerika angesiedelte BMW-Werk im Westen des Spartanburg County. Bis zu seinem Produktionsende im August 2008 wurde dort das BMW-Modell Z4 gebaut, bis Mitte 2002 dessen Vorgänger, der Z3. Seit 2010 wird dort der bisher von Magna Steyr in Österreich produzierte X3 gebaut.[1] Zudem werden dort der BMW X5 und das Geländecoupe X6 gebaut.

Das Werk hat den Spitznamen 'X-Werk' wegen der dort produzierten Modelle X5, X6 und X3 – passend zu der BMW-internen Bezeichnung „Werk 10“ (X ist das römische Zeichen für "10"). Das sogenannte „BMW Zentrum“, ein BMW-Museum mit integrierter Vortragshalle, ist das optische Aushängeschild des Werkes.

Außerdem befinden sich in Spartanburg die Zentralen der global agierenden Unternehmen Milliken & Company und Denny's.
