Happy Birthday, Lego!



150_legobricksNeatorama has celebrated the Lego many times. Here’s a look at how Lego bricks are made. Today is the company’s 75th birthday!

Parties were due to take place around the world Friday for Danish toy firm Lego as its 5,000 global employees prepared to celebrate the company’s 75th birthday. Master carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen started the company on August 10, 1932 in his studio in the town of Billund in Jutland.

    “Currently all molding is done in the company’s main headquarters in Denmark.”

    They put the word “currently” in there because its already been announced that they are moving their operations from Denmark, the US, and Switzerland to Mexico & The Czech Republic. So, if your kids find that the new bricks don’t fit together quite as nicely as the old ones did, you’ll know why.

    Was the giant Lego man found in the ocean part of Lego’s birthday publicity stunt maybe?
