When one unique idea becomes one of the largest enterprises in the world, there has to be an impressive story. What started off as wooden toy manufacturing company, it has today become one of the most popular toys making companies in the world.
What is so unique about this company, there are so many toy companies, you ask?
Well, LEGO’s is a toy making company, but not the regular kind. LEGO is known for its interlocking plastic bricks that can be used to create toys, objects, and structures of many kinds. They can be used to make buildings, cars, robots and so much more. This was the unique idea.
LEGO’s History – How it all started
The story of the LEGO’s starts in 1932 when it was started by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. It started in his workshop in Billund, Denmark, where he created wooden toys. The word Lego means play well. Then, in 1947, the company started making plastic toys. It was in the year 1949 when the company started developing the first interlocking brick toys among other products. The first version of the Lego toys was different then and since its inception the designs have changed regularly.
The company is a family based company with the ownership passing from the fathers to the sons. It has been 80 years since the LEGO Group was formed and it is still growing strong. If you need any proof of its impact just look at the number of movies, games, competitions, and six Legoland amusement parks it has to its name.
It has also inspired a wide range of merchandise including various creatively superior t-shirt designs.
