BMW Group Localizes Supply Chains and Expands Portfolio with Samsung SDI and LG. For Battery Cells from Europe and the U.S.

The BMW Group applies the “local for local” principle throughout its global supplier network, purchasing components close to where vehicle production takes place wherever possible. Targeted localization of supply chains strengthens value creation in the key strategic regions of Europe, Asia and North America, reduces transport distances and increases supply security. A globally diversified supplier network also supports resilience and flexibility.
