ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Wes Moore joined McLaren leadership to celebrate the grand opening of the new McLaren Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) at Tradepoint Atlantic in the Port of Baltimore. This facility represents over an $11 million investment—the largest commitment from McLaren in the nation—aimed at facilitating vehicle shipments across America while boosting the local economy and creating highly skilled jobs in automotive sectors.
“Our state is the best place for businesses to grow, and we are thrilled to house McLaren’s brand new processing center, creating new opportunities for Marylanders to thrive,” said Governor Moore. “Our administration is committed to building a dynamic economy fueled by the most innovative businesses in the world. Maryland’s skilled workforce, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and collaborative partnerships will help turbocharge our state.”
The VPC is a custom-built automotive processing facility equipped with advanced technologies and quality-control systems, ensuring McLaren supercars meet the highest standards. The opening event featured live demonstrations and a showcase of McLaren vehicles. Governor Moore was joined by McLaren Automotive CEO Nick Collins and other key executives.
“Just over a year ago, we broke ground, and now we are proud to be operating one of the most advanced VPCs globally,” said Nicolas Brown, President of McLaren Americas. “This facility represents a significant investment in the Americas market, ensuring every McLaren delivered here exceeds customer expectations.”
Developed in partnership with Tradepoint Atlantic, the VPC adds to the region’s economy by positioning Baltimore as a critical hub for automotive logistics and supply chains.
“We are proud to welcome McLaren to Tradepoint Atlantic and Baltimore,” said Kerry Doyle, Managing Director of Tradepoint Atlantic. “This investment reinforces our region’s prominence as a premier gateway for vehicle imports and automotive logistics.”
The opening of the VPC marks another milestone for the Moore-Miller administration’s focus on growing industries that shape Maryland’s future and boost local communities.
