For major projects such as plant transfer or new factory setup, it is probably the right decision to hire a PMP-certified project manager (who has demonstrated the necessary project experience and knowledge) or a person armed with a master’s in project management, with sufficient track record to run the project. At the very least, they can help ensure that the project runs within the scope, budget, and resource (among other things) stipulated by upper management.

However, for smaller ones, it is perfectly fine to manage this without one … how else can the project manager (PM) gain the experience to manage projects in the first place?
