Pandora Opens $150 Million Jewelry Manufacturing Facility in Vietnam
Danish jewelry company Pandora has launched its largest manufacturing facility to date in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The $150 million investment marks the company's first production site outside of Thailand and aims to increase total capacity by 50 percent.
Pandora, the global jewelry manufacturer, officially opened a new production facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on Thursday. Representing a $150 million investment, the factory is the company’s fourth worldwide and its first manufacturing site located outside of Thailand. The move is part of a broader corporate strategy to diversify the company's supply chain and improve resilience against potential disruptions.
Once the facility reaches full operational capacity, it is expected to employ approximately 7,000 workers. According to company data, the new site will increase Pandora’s total global manufacturing capacity by roughly 50 percent. This expansion follows a period of significant volume for the brand, which reported sales of 112 million pieces of jewelry. By establishing a presence in Vietnam, Pandora seeks to scale its production capabilities to meet ongoing consumer demand while reducing its reliance on a single geographic manufacturing hub.
