History

lets know about the 88 years old lego ....

The name LEGO is an abbreviation of leg godt which means play well in Danish and I put together in Latin.

In 1932,great carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen had a small workshop in Billund, Denmark. Business wasn’t great and before soon, he dismissed his last worker and closed the workshop.

The change..

A rise from pain to results..

no work , no idea , 4 sons to feed lost his wife  from there an IDEA ..

the man Ole had an idea: he began making toys. After all, he had all the wood he needed from the carpentry production and lots of creativity.

The first LEGO toy Ole made was a wooden duck. This happened 88 years ago and pivoting from carpentry to toy making was the first step that set the company up for success.

“Only the best is good enough”, LEGO founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s motto

Ole’s wooden toy business gains momentum and word gets out that his toys are of the finest quality.With the help of his son Godtfred, who starts working with him side by side, sales pick up and the future looks a little less grim.

Everything changes when Ole buys a plastic injection-moulding machine for toy production, the first machine of this type in Denmark.In 1949, the LEGO factory starts making 200 different plastic and wooden toys, including Automatic Binding Bricks, a forerunner of the LEGO bricks we know today.
