The Rolls-Royce facility in Chichester, England, is growing significantly. The BMW subsidiary plans to start work on five new facilities early next year.

Typically, an automaker builds a new facility to accommodate the production of more cars. It’s a Rolls-Royce, though. The coveted uniqueness of the Rolls-Royce brand would be compromised if more of them were made and sold.

Therefore, the goal of this factory expansion is to produce more expensive automobiles than more cars, which requires more time and space for workshops and the storage of exotic materials.

The increase suggests something about the extremely rich Rolls-Royce customer base. They have a limited number of cars to purchase, but they can afford to spend more on each one.

President of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Americas Martin Fritsches stated, “We’re not necessarily growing that much in volume.” Clearly, that is not our main concern. However, it’s evident that our bespoke area is expanding and becoming more relevant. and has been growing significantly, especially in the past few years.
