Pandora to open new distribution centre in Maryland to power US expansion
Significant investment underscores Pandora’s commitment to its largest market and supports global growth ambitions.
Pandora, the world’s largest jewellery brand, today announced the relocation of its Americas Distribution Centre from Columbia, Maryland to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Anne Arundel, Maryland. The move marks a significant milestone in Pandora’s global growth journey and reinforces its long-term commitment to the US market, its largest and fastest-growing region.
The new Anne Arundel facility expands Pandora’s distribution footprint by almost 80%, increasing total space to 107,000 square feet. Purpose-built to support the company’s omni-channel strategy, the centre will feature advanced fulfilment capabilities that enhance operational efficiency and enable faster, more flexible service across retail and e-commerce channels. New warehouse and transport management systems using “pick-and-pass” methods will boost productivity, and the site will also feature advanced safety and security measures.
Construction is set to begin this month, and opening is planned for the first half of 2026.
“This investment reflects both our confidence in the US market and our commitment to delivering a world-class experience to our customers,” said Luciano Rodembusch, President of Pandora North America. “By expanding our operational capabilities, we are positioning Pandora to capture the strong growth opportunities we continue to see across North America.”
A better workplace for a growing team
Designed with employee wellbeing in mind, the new facility will offer an improved working environment, including upgraded amenities, ergonomic workstations, and collaborative spaces. Pandora expects to grow its workforce at the site and is currently assessing hiring needs to support the expanded operations. All current employees at the Columbia facility will be offered the opportunity to relocate to the new Anne Arundel site, located just 13 miles away.
Sustainability at the core
The Anne Arundel facility will be LEED Silver Certified, meeting rigorous standards for energy efficiency, water consumption, and sustainable design – furthering Pandora’s global commitment to responsible business practices.
Momentum in the US market
Pandora’s expansion comes amid sustained momentum in its US business. From 2020 to 2024, revenue more than doubled, and growth has remained strong in 2025, with 12% organic growth reported in the first half of the year – outperforming the broader market and driven by robust in-store and online traffic.
Pandora employs 8,000 people across the US and has 500 stores.
