Denmark’s LEGO opens new regional distribution center in Vietnam

The new RDC, LEGO’s fifth worldwide and second in the Asia-Pacific region after the existing center in China’s Shanghai, covers 10,200 square meters.

It will serve as a distribution hub for products manufactured at LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam, LEGO Group’s newest factory in Ho Chi Minh City, which opened earlier this year.

The center will be equipped with bonded storage, specialized packing, and value-added services.

Once fully operational in 2026, it is expected to process over 150 containers weekly, store 33,000 pallets, and expand up to 16,360 square meters to meet growing demand.

Initial shipments will go to Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan, with India, Indonesia, and other markets to follow in 2026.

Kuehne+Nagel will manage end-to-end logistics operations for the RDC, including transport from LEGO Group’s Vietnam factory and mainland China, customs clearance, bonded warehousing, sea freight, and delivery to local distribution centers throughout the region.

“Our new regional distribution center in Dong Nai will play a critical role in supporting long-term growth in the region by creating a shorter and more agile supply chain,” said P. Venkatram, vice-president, APAC-China supply chain operations of LEGO Group.

“Our partnership with the LEGO Group reflects a shared commitment to operational excellence and long-term sustainability,” said Bjoern Traemann, managing director of Kuehne+Nagel Vietnam.

“Beyond managing fulfillment operations, we actively support their broader sustainability goals. 

"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. 

"We are proud to be part of a supply chain that is built for the future.”

The Dong Nai RDC is LEED Gold-certified and features solar panels and smart energy meters to optimize energy consumption and reduce emissions.

Nguyen Ngoc Huan, deputy head of Customs Sub-Department XVIII, said the RDC reflects Dong Nai’s growing role as a logistics hub, boosting both LEGO’s global supply chain and Vietnam’s competitiveness.
