The Lego Group today officially opened Kornmarken Campus, its first dedicated global manufacturing innovation centre. The new campus is part of the company’s investment in manufacturing technologies and capabilities that are intented to power product development and production.

Located in Billund, Denmark, where the Lego Group was founded 94 years ago, Kornmarken Campus brings together people and technologies with the aim of accelerating the speed and quality of innovation.

Niels B Christiansen, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Kornmarken Campus strengthens the Lego Group’s foundation for future growth. By bringing all aspects of manufacturing innovation together in one location, we can speed up how new ideas move from concept to reality in our global operations network.”

Together with the legacy factory, the 47,000 m² campus forms a 100,000 m² state-of-the-art facility. From here, around 1,800 Lego colleagues from engineering, quality and manufacturing will develop, test and scale new manufacturing technologies, while also continuing production of Lego bricks.

Carsten Rasmussen, Chief Operations Officer, said: “The Lego Group has among the most talented engineers and craftspeople in the world. This facility will provide them with the necessary tools and technologies to expand what’s possible for product development and production, both now and in the future.”

The opening was marked by a ribbon‑cutting ceremony attended by Billund Mayor Stephanie Storbank, as well as representatives from the national and local business community and design partners, alongside Niels B. Christiansen and Carsten Rasmussen.
