Upstate South Carolina Is BMW Country — and America's Tire Belt
Greenville-Spartanburg is an automotive powerhouse — BMW's Spartanburg plant is the brand's largest global factory, producing X3, X5, X7, and XM models for worldwide export. Michelin North America is headquartered in Greenville, and the I-85 corridor from Greenville to Atlanta hosts a dense cluster of Tier 1 suppliers including ZF, Bosch, and Continental. The region's strong machining base serves powertrain, chassis, and body-in-white programs.
RivCut supports Greenville automotive suppliers with CNC machining, tight tolerances, and the VDA-format inspection reports BMW's quality system requires.
