BMW committed to manufacturing cars in SA for decades to come

The CEO of BMW SA, Tim Abbott says the JD Power Platinum Quality Plant Award won by the Rosslyn plant is the first for any manufacturer in South Africa and the highest for any BMW plant in the world. The vehicles produced at Rosslyn are exported to the United States and South Korea. He says BMW is enjoying excellent relations with the government and the workforce and intends to stay in South Africa for decades to come. He says his company is ahead of the game most of the time through its innovative approach and investment in its people. Abbott says BMW SA is going to build market share in East and West Africa and will announce a new programme next week to support their intentions.
