BMW plans to step up its operations in Russia
Article Abstract:
Germany's Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) intends to invest in its automobile assembly facilities in the former Soviet Union. In partnership with Avototor, BMW will spend $70.3 million to upgrade facilities located in Kaliningrad. The production goal has been set at 10,000 units per year. The current unstable condition of the Russian economy demonstrates BMW's commitment to its foreign operation. The company is upgrading at a time when local currency is cheap. However, it will likely be several years before the investment pays off.
