BMW supplier Astra/CFX opens new facility in Greer

ASTRA/CFX held the grand opening of its new $9 million facility located in Greer Monday. The company specializes in wheel assemblies for BMW.

Tom Przybojewski, Vice-President of CFX, says, “South Carolina has done a better job than any state we’ve opened a factory in, in providing resources, and just feeling that you’re a part of a community.

The company currently has around 50 employees at its Greer site. The Governor’s office says the company will create 100 new jobs.

At the ceremony, Governor Mark Sanford said:

I think it’s a celebration of a neat small business that has a remarkable legacy in regard to quality of what they produce. But it’s also a celebration of BMW’s considerable presence in the world of automotive.
