Kuehne+Nagel and the LEGO Group are expanding their long-standing partnership with the opening of a new Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) in Dong Nai, Vietnam. The centre will serve as a distribution hub for products manufactured at LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam, the LEGO Group’s newest factory in Ho Chi Minh City, which opened earlier this year.

At the time of its opening, the RDC will supply markets including Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan, with other markets including India, Indonesia and more planned to come in 2026. Kuehne+Nagel will manage end-to-end logistics operations for the RDC, including transport from the LEGO Group’s Vietnam factory and Mainland China, customs clearance, bonded warehousing, sea freight, and delivery to Local Distribution Centres (LDCs) throughout the region.

“Our new regional distribution centre 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 the LEGO Group. “We’re grateful for our continued partnership with Kuehne+Nagel, whose strong logistics expertise helps us to bring learning through play to millions of children across the region.”

At the time of opening, the facility will cover 10,200 sqm and be equipped with bonded storage, specialised packing and value-added services. Once fully complete and operational in 2026, it will process more than 150 containers per week, have capacity for 33,000 pallets, and span 16,360 sqm, providing sufficient capacity for growth.

“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 fulfilment 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 optimise energy consumption and reduce emissions. The RDC is the LEGO Group’s fifth worldwide and second in Asia Pacific, joining an existing centre in Shanghai, China. It follows the opening of a new RDC in Tessenderlo, Belgium, last year, which is also operated by Kuehne+Nagel and serves the European customers.
