The LEGO Group announces further expansion
The LEGO Group announced it is expanding its factory in Monterrey, Mexico, creating additional packing and warehousing capacity that sets the company up for long-term growth in the Americas.
Vital role in global network
Carsten Rasmussen, Chief Operating Officer at the LEGO Group said: “Our factory in Monterrey is the largest LEGO manufacturing facility in the world and plays a vital role in our global network. Our continued investment is part of the company’s strategy to locate production facilities close to our major markets, allowing us to respond to shifts in local demand, shorten the supply chain, and reduce our environmental impact.”
Adding 59,000 m2
The expansion will include a new packing building, a warehouse extension, and other miscellaneous facilities, adding a total of 59,000 m2 of operational space to the current site. The Monterrey factory currently employs more than 5,000 people, with an additional 900 expected to be added over the course of the expansion.
Work on the expansion has commenced and is expected to be completed in 2025.
