The LEGO Group has announced the opening of a new Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) in southern Vietnam, further strengthening its presence in Asia-Pacific.
The facility, located in Dong Nai province, will serve as a logistics hub for products manufactured at LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam, the group’s newest factory in Ho Chi Minh City, which opened earlier this year.
Once fully operational in 2026, the RDC will supply markets including Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan, with additional countries such as India and Indonesia to follow. Covering 16,360 square metres, the centre will process more than 150 containers per week and provide capacity for 33,000 pallets.
P. Venkatram, vice president, APAC-China Supply Chain Operations of the LEGO Group, said the new RDC will play a vital role in supporting long-term growth in the region.
“We’re grateful for our continued partnership with Kuehne+Nagel, whose strong logistics expertise helps us to bring learning through play to millions of children across the region,” he said.
Kuehne+Nagel will manage end-to-end logistics operations, including transport from LEGO’s Vietnam factory and Mainland China, customs clearance, bonded warehousing, sea freight, and regional deliveries.
According to Bjoern Traemann, managing director of Kuehne+Nagel Vietnam, the company also supports LEGO’s wider sustainability ambitions.
“This includes the use of Sustainable Marine Fuel for all global full container load shipments and the deployment of electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries,” he said.
The Dong Nai RDC has been awarded LEED Gold certification and includes solar panels and smart energy systems to reduce emissions. It is the LEGO Group’s fifth distribution centre worldwide and the second in Asia-Pacific, after Shanghai.
