The Rubik's Cube, invented by Hungarian architect Ernő Rubik over 50 years ago, is returning production to Hungary after selling over 500 million units worldwide. A new automated production line was inaugurated in Jászberény, where Rubik emphasized Hungary as the cube's birthplace. The cube's journey began in 1974 when Rubik created a prototype for educational purposes. After initial struggles with production, the cube gained immense popularity in the 1980s, leading to global sales. Despite a decline in sales, it remains popular, with millions sold annually. The new facility aims to produce one million cubes each year, reflecting a resurgence in interest, especially with international competitions.
