Neither the long train ride nor the bleak, von Trier–like weather could dampen the spirits of our enthusiastic group of students and instructors, who visited the LEGO factory in Nyíregyháza on November 11, 2025. During the two-hour tour, we saw how the elements are injection-molded, how the latest sets are packed in recycled paper, how sorted bricks are moved by massive forklifts, and how eco-friendly paint prints are applied to the sides of LEGO ponies.
The Nyíregyháza LEGO factory, which covers more than 60,000 square meters, was recently expanded and currently employs 4,300 people, with further expansion planned in the coming months. It is the second largest LEGO factory in the world, producing all DUPLO figures, which are then shipped to many countries across the globe. The machines run day and night, manufacturing millions of elements every day, and billions of bricks are stored in the 36-meter-high, fully automated warehouses. Energy is generated partly from geothermal wells and solar panels, while the park features a rainwater irrigation system, a “jellyfish lake,” and a LEGO sculpture built from hundreds of thousands of pieces.
For the factory’s management, it is important that employees experience the Danish mindset not only on the production line but also in their everyday work life. Some of the staff are retirees, people with reduced work capacity, or employees with disabilities, all working under the same rights and conditions as their colleagues. The facility includes, among other things, a gym, a cafeteria, ping-pong tables, and a staff LEGO store. Working hours are generally flexible, and company buses transport employees from around fifty nearby towns. Everyday life is enriched by sports campaigns and cultural events. The director, who is known to personally chat with warehouse or machine operators, happened to hurry into his office wearing a raincoat and sneakers just as we arrived.
We would like to thank the factory’s staff for the opportunity to visit and for their warm welcome!
DET BEDSTE ER IKKE FOR GODT
