GXO Logistics announced a new long‑term agreement to manage warehouse and logistics operations at BMW Group’s Swindon plant in the United Kingdom. Under the deal, GXO will oversee the handling of car parts—including pressed components for MINI vehicles assembled at the nearby Oxford plant and other BMW models—while applying its automation, data‑driven logistics, and continuous‑improvement capabilities to the 425,000‑square‑meter site that employs more than 500 people.
The Swindon facility is a key node in BMW’s global production network, producing pressed body components and sub‑assemblies for MINI and other models. By taking over operations at this high‑volume site, GXO expands its automotive footprint into the UK and gains a strategic foothold in a major manufacturer’s supply chain. The contract is expected to strengthen GXO’s revenue mix and demonstrate the scalability of its technology‑first logistics model in a new industry vertical.
GXO will use advanced automation and data analytics to optimize plant layout, upgrade technology, and enhance supply‑chain resilience for BMW’s production needs. The move aligns with GXO’s broader strategy of winning high‑value, long‑term contracts with leading manufacturers, and it positions the company to capture additional volume as BMW continues to grow its global footprint. Analysts noted that the deal signals confidence in GXO’s ability to manage complex, high‑volume automotive logistics operations.
The announcement was well received by investors, with the market reacting positively to the strategic expansion into the UK automotive sector and the securing of a major contract with a blue‑chip client. The deal underscores GXO’s growth trajectory and its focus on high‑margin, high‑volume logistics services, which should support future revenue and margin expansion.
Martin Cooper, Managing Director of Technology and Consumer Goods for GXO UK & Ireland, said, “We’re excited to begin this new chapter with BMW Group at their Swindon facility. Our experience in smart logistics solutions across diverse industries will help drive efficiencies, strengthen resilience, and build a future‑proof platform for growth for BMW.”
