The LEGO group continues to build its empire, where it invested 366 million dollars to build a 2 million square feet warehouse in Prince George County, Virginia.

Virginia Governor Glenn Yongen announced on Thursday that the warehouse would work more than 300.

“The LEGO group is not just a family name, but rather a symbol of creativity, innovation and quality that resonates globally,” Yongen said in a press statement. “After three years of Virginia chose to create its American manufacturing factory, the LEGO Group’s decision to expand in Prince George County is an exciting new chapter in this partnership, bringing 305 new high -quality jobs to the region.

“While the LEGO group deepens its roots in the Commonwealth, it sends a strong message: Virginia is a place where world leaders flourish and succeed.”

“Our regional distribution center is a strategic supplement for the factory that we are currently building in Virginia,” said the LEGO COO COO CAO CAO CAO CAOSTEN RASMUSSEN.. “Both establishments will ensure that we have the ability to manufacture and distribute to continue achieving long -term growth in the Americas for years to come, while helping to reduce lead times and environmental impact through the short supply chain.”
