Hams Hall hits 5 million-mark

BMW Group’s Hams Hall engine manufacturing plant, near Birmingham, is celebrating the production of its five millionth engine.

The plant has been operating for more than 18 years, assembling three and four-cylinder petrol engines for BMW and MINI models. Hams Hall-built engines are also supplied for a growing number of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Plant director Bernd Gress, said, ‘We are delighted to be celebrating our five millionth engine. Our dedicated team works hard to ensure every one of those five million engines has been built to the highest standards of quality and dispatched promptly to one of our vehicle plants, so customers get their cars on time.’

Engines roll off the production line every minute, while a second assembly facility at the plant, developed over the last six years, produces hand-built engines. This enables the plant to be highly flexible in producing many different types of engine specifications..
