LEGO Group to invest more than $1 billion to build a new factory in Virginia.
The LEGO Group announced plans on June 15 to invest more than $1 billion to build a new factory in Chesterfield County, VA. Once completed, the 1.7 million square foot facility will employ more than 1,760 people.
The factory will be designed to operate as a carbon-neutral facility with 100% of its day-to-day energy needs matched by renewable energy generated by an onsite solar park. The facility also will be designed to minimize energy consumption and use of non-renewable resources.
Construction will commence in fall 2022 with production projected to start in the second half of 2025. A temporary packaging site will open in an existing building nearby in early 2024 and create up to 500 jobs.
The Virginia factory will be the LEGO Group’s seventh factory globally and the second in the Americas. The company’s manufacturing site in Monterrey, Mexico, primarily supplies the U.S. market and will be expanded and upgraded to meet the growing demand for LEGO products.
These standards have been released in the past few months.
