BMW Group Plant Swindon is an integral part of BMW Group’s production network, producing parts and panels made for the cars which are then assembled at Plant Oxford and in BMW Group’s global network. Sub Assembly manufactures all ‘hang-on parts’ such as doors, bonnets, tailgates, fenders, for the MINIs produced at Plant Oxford.
Our plant in Swindon, a 425,000 square metre site, is located just off Bridge End Road – in the Stratton St Margaret area of the borough. The plant was started in 1955, by Pressed Steel as an extension to the Oxford plant with the first pressings leaving the factory on 31 December of that year. More recently, in 2022 a new press shop and logistics hall at Plant Swindon with a new automated steel pressing facility were opened with the latest press-shop technology, allowing the site to take its performance to the next level, as a vital member of BMW Group’s international production network
