Lego To Open $366 Million Distribution Hub In Virginia

The LEGO Group has announced it will invest $366 million to build and operate a 2,000,000-square-foot regional distribution center (RDC) in Prince George, Virginia. The RDC is expected to be operational in 2027, with construction starting later this year.

The RDC will support the LEGO Group’s future factory in Chester, Virginia, which is currently under construction and set to open in 2027. The new facility is part of the company’s global supply strategy to locate factories and distribution centers close to major markets and ensure capacity to support future growth in the region.

Carsten Rasmussen, Chief Operations Officer of the LEGO Group, said, “The regional distribution center will bring greater flexibility to our network, ensuring we are well positioned to support long-term growth in the Americas. Together with our future Virginia factory, the RDC will shorten our supply chain in the region – reducing lead times for our customers as well as our environmental impact. We are grateful for the continued support from the Commonwealth of Virginia.”

The RDC will be the second in the company’s Americas network, joining an existing center in Fort Worth, Texas. It will be operated by a third-party logistics partner, creating 305 jobs. The 2027 Virginia factory will create more than 1,700 jobs with the LEGO Group once fully operational.

The LEGO Group recently opened a new factory in Vietnam in April 2025, and is expanding three of its existing factories in Hungary, China, and Mexico to meet future global demand. The company opened its second RDC in Europe in Belgium in 2024 and will officially open its second RDC in Asia in Vietnam later in 2025.
