Lego has opened a $1 billion factory in Vietnam Binh Duong, close to Ho Chi Minh City to expand in Asia. With this move, the company aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, marking a key supply chain shift towards sustainable growth.
The Vietnam plant is Lego’s most sustainable yet. It’s built to be carbon-neutral, with plans to recycle water, reduce waste and limit energy use.
Vietnam was chosen for its regional location and logistics access. Lego aims to bring production closer to fast-growing markets and ease supply chain pressures. Main market targets are Asia and Australia.
The facility is expected to create over 4,000 jobs in Vietnam over the next 15 years. It boosts local employment while growing Lego’s presence in Asia.
Lego’s move to Vietnam aligns with its mission to inspire creativity. The company plans local education programmes alongside production.
Lego is also working on sustainable bricks made from recycled materials. The Vietnam plant could play a key role in testing these alternatives.
The factory is close to Vietnam’s biggest port and industrial zones. This strategic location helps Lego keep supply chains fast and efficient.
