Goodbye to speculators: Pokémon will build a mega-printing plant covering more than one million square meters to meet demand
Pokémon TCG receives global reinforcement.
The Pokémon Company has responded to the tremendous demand seen in the Pokémon TCG since 2023. The company, which has had its printing presses running at full capacity in recent months, has decided to invest in the future with a project that will have a significant impact on the speculative market.
The Pokémon Company puts a stop to Pokémon TCG stock shortages
Information from PokéBeach, a leading source of information on the hobby, suggests that Millennium Print Group has signed a lease for almost 1.5 million square meters to set up a manufacturing campus that will be the new mega-printing facility for Pokémon TCG worldwide.
The firm was acquired by The Pokémon Company in 2022 and is currently responsible for producing cards for the company in the West (with offices in the United States and the Netherlands). Of the entire campus, 400,000 square meters of already-built facilities will be given to the company to put in the machinery, while at the same time they’re building 866,000 square meters of infrastructure that will be finished in 2027.
It is true that it will still be around a year and a half before it is operational, but this undoubtedly represents a new level for the company, investing in one of the most successful trading card games of the moment. They do not expect demand to fall, precisely.
