The facility is the company\u2019s first dedicated global<a href=\"https:\/\/interplasinsights.com\/topics\/manufacturing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> manufacturing<\/a> innovation centre and forms part of its investment in manufacturing technologies and capabilities for product development and production. Located in Billund, Denmark, the Campus brings together people and technologies to inspire collaboration. Additionally, the facility hopes to accelerate the speed and quality of innovation, enhancing LEGO play experiences. With the legacy factory, the 47,000 m\u00b2 campus forms a 100,000 m\u00b2 state-of-the-art facility. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cKornmarken Campus strengthens the LEGO Group\u2019s foundation for future growth,\u201d said Niels B Christiansen, Chief Executive Officer. \u201cBy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carsten Rasmussen, Chief Operations Officer, added, \u201cThe 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\u2019s possible for product development and production, both now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key facilities include:<\/p>\n<p>Test &amp; Innovation Centre: Development, testing, and scaling of new LEGO elements, production processes and technologies across moulds, <a href=\"https:\/\/interplasinsights.com\/topics\/moulding\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">moulding<\/a>, processing, and packaging.&#13;<br \/>\n\tMaterials Lab: Researching more <a href=\"https:\/\/interplasinsights.com\/topics\/sustainability\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sustainable<\/a> raw <a href=\"https:\/\/interplasinsights.com\/topics\/materials\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">materials<\/a>.&#13;<br \/>\n\tAdditive Manufacturing Centre: Experimentation and development utilising advanced 3D manufacturing capabilities.&#13;<br \/>\n\tTraining Academy: Bringing together apprentice academies for plastic makers and tool makers.&#13;<br \/>\n\tMould Manufacturing: Manufacturing moulds for novelties and new mould concepts.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is an important aspect of the Kornmarken Campus, as it\u00a0features\u00a0energy\u2011efficient systems, renewable energy supply, and rainwater management. The 22,000 m\u00b2 mass timber construction helps reduce the building\u2019s environmental footprint by locking carbon into the structure, while an existing nearby 4 MW solar park will partly power the facility. The company is building a new 80-100 MW solar park, which will be able to match 100% of the LEGO Group&#8217;s total energy consumption in Billund. Meanwhile, later this year, the Campus will open a Sustainability Play Lab, allowing schoolchildren and visitors to learn more about the Group\u2019s journey towards more sustainable materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The LEGO Group has opened its Kornmarken Campus.
