LEGO is building a new manufacturing site in Jiaxing, China. The manufacturing plant will be on a 75 acre plot and will have 377,000 square feet of space. They will have several hundred injection presses capable of molding several billion LEGO bricks every year.
The plant is currently under construction and plans to be completed in 2017. It will provide jobs to about 1,500 people.
With the growing Chinese economy, LEGO is expecting more families to be in the upper middle class which translates to more demand for LEGO products.
