Lego to Spend $400M to Add Warehouse Space at Mexico Plant
The expansion will add a packaging building and automated warehouse, and Lego says it will create more than 1,300 jobs.
- On Thursday, Danish toy manufacturer Lego announced a US$400 million investment to expand its Monterrey, Nuevo Leon factory, adding a packaging building and an automated warehouse.
- This investment marks Lego's third Monterrey expansion since 2022, following a US$500 million commitment in August 2022 and another expansion announced in November 2023.
- Nancy Sanchez, Lego's general manager for the Americas, detailed the project at President Claudia Sheinbaum's daily press conference, noting it incorporates 62,000 square meters of new space and creates more than 1,300 jobs by 2029.
- New packaging and warehousing capabilities improve delivery speeds for North American retail, while Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard noted Mexico competes for manufacturing against Asia and the United States.
- Lego officials did not link this expansion to current trade policies, maintaining the decision reflects a strategic logistics choice as more than 90 percent of Mexican inputs are sourced locally.
