Adidas has proven that they are constantly searching for ways to improve the manufacturing process. One of their ways to achieve a smarter and faster process was through launching their Adidas Speedfactory. One of Adidas’s goals is to have a decentralized, flexible manufacturing network that can react to local consumer needs. The Speedfactory is located in Germany and is intended to cater directly to the European market, which would help them shorten shipping delays and consumers in the region. Adidas plans to open another one in Atlanta, Georgia to help the American market. The shift towards the automated manufacturing process is the consumer’s rising interest in robotics, along with sustainability in personalized goods.
