LEGO Polska Sp. z o.o. is the Polish entity of the LEGO Group, a privately held Danish company founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen and still owned by the Kirk Kristiansen family. The group employs over 31,000 people across more than 40 countries and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of play materials.
The company's core product is the LEGO brick - an interlocking plastic building system whose fundamental design has remained unchanged since 1958 and has twice been recognised as "Toy of the Century." Starting from a small carpenter's workshop in Denmark, the LEGO Group takes its name from the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning "play well." Its operations span toy design and manufacturing, educational products, and visitor experiences, including LEGO House, which offers hands-on creative activities aimed at developing systematic thinking and imaginative problem-solving in children.
Beyond its core toy business, the group operates several dedicated divisions and initiatives:
- LEGO Education - an educational arm focused on helping children build 21st-century skills through structured play-based learning.
- LEGO Foundation - champions learning through play and supports children's development and sustainability programmes globally.
The company's stated mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow, with a focus on children's cognitive and creative development alongside a commitment to sustainability and making a positive difference in the lives of children worldwide.
