How America's Largest Puzzle Factory Makes 2 Million Puzzles A Month
Presented by AMEX
When the pandemic locked people inside, Buffalo Games saw an unprecedented spike in demand for its puzzles. But just as demand was taking off, the company’s Buffalo, NY factory was shut down under New York State COVID-19 mandate. As the largest manufacturer of puzzles in North America, the company had to get creative. First, Buffalo Games sourced from overseas and then ramped up manufacturing stateside when the factory was able to reopen in May. Since May, the company has doubled production, now making 2 million puzzles a month. Business Insider visits the factory to see how Buffalo Games did it.

How America’s Largest Puzzle Factory Makes 2 Million Puzzles A Month
This is puzzling
I caught my cat watching this video while sitting on a map of Europe , should I be concerned?
The old camping/hunting ones with like the 50’s trucks are easily my favorite.
Made in America: printed sheets from Canada, computers and proof printers from China and Malaysia, the board and box stock and glue from China and machines from Germany. Factory Lit with LEDs from China, shrink film from China, workers from whoknowswhere, workers wearing masks and clothes from every butt hole country on the planet. All Owned by an Indian. Yep! That’s today’s capitalism! “Made in USA!”
I have a few puzzles made by Buffalo Games! Thanks for keeping me busy during the pandemic!
no mostro en los cortes como se hace.. solo bla bla…. no me gusto su video
it’s awesome!
That’s cool and all but why modify old famous art? Like it’s fine the way it is that’s why it’s famous….right? I don’t get that part lol
Very cool..Just completed a cat puzzle that looks exactly like my cat. Very satisfying.
I love puzzle 🌆🏔️🌉🌃🏕️
Well that is so true…. Decided to start puzzling as a stress relief and hobby for 2022…. Will be ordering my first Buffalo puzzle soon! I started with some dollar tree ones… and they were fun… so I know buffalo puzzles will be top notch!

You serious? When I can’t solve the shit I get angry af
Why did 90% of these people not have masks on?!?
This is fascinating! I’ve alway wondered how jigsaw puzzles were made. Didn’t know about the artist side of it. I’ve always loved jigsaw puzzles since I was a kid. I have several in my closet I decided to get down and put together because I’m bored with video games. One was a Buffalo Games 1000 piece Charles Wysocki puzzle. I bought it probably 10 years ago but never put it together. I did it in two days and now have ordered 3 more from Amazon and bought two that my local WalMart had. I really enjoy his artwork. The quality of the puzzles are so good. Highly recommend this company’s puzzles.
10 to 15 hours?? My dream! I’m broke because it takes me about 4 hours lol I can’t keep up with my own demand (ps: do puzzles!!!! great activity for all ages, helps with fine motor skills and logic thinking, there’s nothing more satisfying than putting in the last piece and doing that pleasant puzzle rub)
All i really wanted to see was how the puzzles where getting cut
2:24 HEH i have a 1000 piece (round) puzzle of the moon A BIG SLAB of grey some 0.5% darker than the rest (the puzzle sizes are aboutttt 2 by 2 (cm)or something like that)
Im looking for pizzas 💔
They skipped the only part I wanted to see, the pieces getting cut.
Omg I have so many buffalo games!
I started doing jigsaws when I moved for my first job and was bored and alone- and worked in a toy store- at 19.
I just want something satisfying and time consuming so i really like 750 piece Americana puzzles like the first one they featured.

😍
I would like to be more intelligent to do 500 or 1000 piece puzzles. I can only do puzzles for kids.
5:15 after Covid-19?
I just play Retro Video Games to keep myself busy so if you could please stop on by

I remember looking in stores for puzzles at the beginning of the pandemic and there were none! So glad they have returned to the shelves.
These guys talking like they’re performing rocket surgery. It’s an image cut with a die press. Next?
Good job Democrats, shutting down factories and putting people out of work…
One more Indian in CEO position
I know it’s not related, but I realized this company have a lot of female employees, even those who operate the forklifts!
Kudos for the inclusivity✨✨
Wow Jesus Christ 🤩🤩🤩.
So far all of our Buffalo puzzles have 1 or two missing peices. So disappointing.
Misread the title. I thought clip is about Pizza factory from thumbnail. LoL.
Yep, I’m one of the people who rediscovered puzzles during the pandemic. Now I have a shelf full.
We just finished putting together one of your 1000 piece puzzles. Enjoyed it a lot. I am amazed at how well they are made. The pieces fit precisely. And no piece was missing. Thanks
Very interesting. Thank you.! 🇨🇦
I love puzzles but sadly they are too expensive
i want those puzzles
Let me start by saying that what I’m about to say did NOT happen with a Buffalo games puzzle. We bought a puzzle from a well-known reputable company and started putting it together the day after Christmas. We found that there was an entire section of about 15 to 20 pieces that were missing. Not random pieces all around the puzzle, but one definitive section about the diameter of a softball that were missing. I’m curious as to what part of the manufacturing process that error could have occurred. I’ve been putting jigsaw puzzles together for about 65 years and not once, have I ever experienced an incomplete puzzle out of the box to this extent.
I was told by others some even after they do puzzle and all goes right they pasted to a board to frame and it a picture they can put on wall anytime. so not gotta pay alot for actual pic , u put together and then u have a cheap version to enjoy and see anytime.
How are they cut?
I’ve actually done the puzzle at 2:00, cool seeing the factory where they made it.
Who the "F" buys puzzle’s.
This factory produces trash at a fantastic rate.
The thing that blows my mind is that they’re using a single packaging line to package multiple different designs alternately. That’s gotta be a nightmare if it ever gets out of sync.
I’m disappointed they didn’t let us see how they really cut it. Is there a sharp edged frame that presses on the cardboard to the cut puzzle into desired shapes? Or does it used lasers to cut through or what not? It would have been so satisfying to see
I can’t believe myself, I clicked here because I read ‘puzzle’ as pizza XD
