The Iconic American Brands Are No Longer American

Hasbro, known for Monopoly, sold its game-making factory to Belgium’s Cartamundi, retaining the original workforce. Despite its American origins, Monopoly is also produced in China and India, showcasing its global production footprint.

Aiming to halve its Chinese manufacturing footprint, Hasbro is turning to India for cost-effective labor. By the end of 2020, the goal was to reduce reliance on China’s Guangdong-based plants, illustrating a strategic shift in global manufacturing dynamics.
