  • LEGO Company and LEGO MINDSTORMS
    LEGO Company COMPANY HISTORY The LEGO Company is a family-owned and actively managed company founded in Billund, Denmark by carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen, grandfather of current president and CEO Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen. (The last names are spelled differently due to a mistake made on the birth certificate of Ole Kirk Christiansen). Ole Kirk opened his carpentry shop in 1916. His main business was building houses and making furniture for the region’s farmers. In 1932, he began making wooden toys, including buses, animal pull toys and piggy banks. He switched his business to toy making because Denmark was in the midst of a depression, and he believed that while parents would make due without new furniture, they still would provide play opportunities for their children. The LEGO Company produced its first plastic toys, including baby rattles and toy tractors in 1947. In 1949, Ole Kirk introduced Automatic Binding Bricks and interlocking plastic blocks, the forerunners of today’s LEGO bricks. During a 1954 trip to a toy fair, Ole Kirk’s son, Godtfred, met a toy buyer who complained that no company offered a comprehensive toy system. In response, he began to develop what later became known as the 10 characteristics of the LEGO System of Play: Unlimited Play Potential, For Girls and for Boys, Fun for Every Age, Year-round Play, Healthy and Quiet Play, Long Hours of Play, Imagination, Creativity, Development, the More LEGO Elements the Greater the Value, Extra Sets Available, and Quality in Every Detail. Sales improved dramatically in 1958 when the company introduced a combinable brick.
