Danish jewelry company Pandora has inaugurated a new $150 million manufacturing facility in the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park III near Ho Chi Minh City. This 7.5-hectare site marks the company’s first production location outside of Thailand, where it has operated for nearly forty years.

Described as the world’s largest fine jewelry crafting facility, the plant is designed to produce up to 60 million pieces of jewelry annually once at full capacity. This expansion is intended to increase the brand's total manufacturing capacity by approximately 50%. CEO Berta de Pablos-Barbier noted that the facility will initially account for 15% of the company’s global capacity, with a goal to reach one-third of total production by 2030. She stated that the new site provides the flexibility to manufacture all collections and assortments using various materials and techniques.

Once fully operational, the facility is expected to employ 7,000 people. In alignment with sustainability goals, the factory is designed to run entirely on renewable electricity, following the company’s 2024 transition to using 100% recycled gold and silver. Pandora reported selling 112 million pieces in 2025.
