SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) _ BMW will hire 200 workers and expand the stamp shop at its Spartanburg County factory, executives said.
Robert Engelhorn, BMW Manufacturing president, announced the expansion Wednesday during the South Carolina Automotive Summit.

The company says the stamping shop, which produces components for BMW X models, will be operational in summer 2024.
