• The LEGO Group is investing more than US $360 million to support long-term growth.
• New facility set to open in 2027.
• Over 300 jobs to be created, enhancing local employment opportunities.

VIRGINIA, USA, NOVEMBER 13, 2025: The LEGO Group today broke ground on its new 2-million-square-foot regional distribution center (RDC) in Prince George County near Richmond, Virginia, USA. The more than US $360 million investment is part of the company’s strategy to support long-term growth in the Americas, bringing more LEGO® play experiences to millions of children and adults alike.

The RDC will complement the state-of-the-art LEGO Manufacturing Virginia facility currently under construction in nearby Chesterfield County. Both facilities are set to open in 2027 and will enable the company to respond faster to shifts in demand, reduce lead times, shorten the supply chain, and reduce its environmental impact. As the LEGO Group’s sixth RDC worldwide, the facility will be equipped with advanced automation that makes it a strong addition to the company’s regionally based supply chain network.

Today’s groundbreaking was celebrated at a ceremony attended by LEGO Group Vice President of Supply Chain Operations for the Americas, Cindy Sikora, as well as other top Virginia state and local officials and key partners.

Cindy Sikora, Vice President, Supply Chain Operations, Americas, the LEGO Group said: “Our regional distribution center will strengthen our supply chain network across the Americas, helping us bring LEGO play to more fans and retail partners efficiently and reliably. We are grateful for the ongoing collaboration we have had with partners across the Commonwealth of Virginia who support our ambition to build this distribution center.”

The RDC is being built with a range of energy efficient features. The company aims to use 100% renewable energy to power the site, and to meet LEED Gold standards through energy efficiency, materials, water conservation and more. It will use electric vehicles to transport goods between the facility and LEGO Manufacturing Virginia, located approximately 20 miles away. The company also aims to achieve WELL certification for the facility which focuses on enhancing human health and wellbeing.

The LEGO Group previously announced it had signed a built-to-suit lease for the RDC with Crosspointe Commerce Center, a joint venture between Hillwood Investment Properties and The Silverman Group. The RDC will be the second in the LEGO Group’s Americas network, joining an existing center in Fort Worth, Texas. It will be operated by a third-party logistics provider, creating more than 300 jobs once opened.

The Virginia distribution center and factory are just a couple of the investments the company is making in the Commonwealth. In 2025, the LEGO Group supported six non-profits through grants that are expected to reach nearly 400,000 children in the area. The company also opened a new LEGO Store in Short Pump Town Center in Henrico County on November 7.

The LEGO Group has also invested significantly in its manufacturing network globally over the last several years. It opened its sixth factory worldwide in Vietnam earlier this year and completed an expansion on its factory in Hungary that has increased capacity by 30% in the second half of 2025. The company has additionally opened its fourth and fifth regional distribution centers in Tessenderlo, Belgium and Dong Nai, Vietnam in 2024 and 2025 respectively, building greater flexibility into its global supply chain.
