The opening of the new plant in Mexico expands the BMW Group's global production network by a further central element and takes the company's presence in Latin America to a new level. At the same time the plant in San Luis Potosí is a state-of-the-art production facility that sets benchmarks in respect of production technology and efficiency. This book tells the story of the plant's construction, looks behind the scenes and shows the many personal stories involved there. The mix of business journalism, storytelling and high-quality visual documentation results in a unique and inspirational book for present and future stakeholders.
