MINI ProductionTriangle launched.
Munich
/Oxford. The start of series production of
the new MINI also signalled the launch of a new pro-
duction network for the BMW Group in Great Britain.
The BMW Group has invested a total of nearly 200
million pounds sterling to build the new MINI in the
so-called MINI production triangle with plants in
Hams Hall, Oxford and Swindon.Thus, maximum
production capacity will rise by 20 percent to up to
240,000 units a year in the medium term. By the
time the plant reaches full capacity, the number of
employees in the production triangle will have
risen
from the current 6,350 to atotal of around 6,800.
The British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon
Brown, visited the BMW Group plant in Oxford for
the start of production of the new MINI, along with
representatives of British industry and the Chair-
man of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Dr.
Norbert Reithofer.
“The new MINI production triangle is a particu-
larly efficient and flexible production network that
allows us to react individually to our customers’
wishes in the MINI’s production”, said Reithofer.
“This flexibility and customer orientation is unique
in the small car segment.”
