Pandora has been manufacturing its jewellery in Thailand since 1989 when Per Enevoldsen, Pandora's founder and a goldsmith by trade, set up the foundation for the company's crafting facilities in Bangkok. As one of the world's largest jewellery exporting countries, Thailand has a long tradition of high-quality jewellery production. Here, Pandora benefits from strong infrastructure, easy access to raw material suppliers and, most importantly, high-quality craftsmanship from a skilled, passionate workforce.
In 2003, Pandora moved the crafting facilities to the Gemopolis Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Bangkok, and opened a first scale, four-storey, fully-owned crafting facility there in 2005. In 2008, a second manufacturing facility was opened in the same area, followed by more facilities over the years, including our Innovation Centre in 2013. Key to product development, the Innovation Centre is where design, scientific research and technical development come together in a state-of-the-art facility in Bangkok.
In 2016, a new crafting facility in Lamphun, a beautiful province in Northern Thailand, was completed. The facility meets the highest demands regarding CSR and sustainability and has been accredited with the GOLD certification within Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
