In October 2015, the LEGO Group announced that the LEGO factory in Nyíregyháza, Hungary, was planned to undergo expansions and that further expansions were being considered in order to meet the expected demand from customers and consumers. The first expansion included installment of moulding machines during 2016 in a nearby rented facility and expanding the LEGO factory with additional automated warehousing and LEGO® DUPLO® processing facilities. Today the LEGO Group announces that it will expand the factory with additional moulding, packaging and further warehousing and processing areas as well as administrative and facility buildings. The decision to invest in further manufacturing capacity has been made based on the LEGO Group’s expectations for the long term growth in LEGO® sales globally. “It is our ambition that children all over the world experience creative LEGO play, and as we continue to grow our business, we need to ensure that we are able to deliver the LEGO sets demanded by consumers all over the world.
