THE LEGO STORY

“Building a Legacy Brick by Brick”


INTRODUCTION & HISTORY

LEGO consists of coloured interlocking plastic bricks which can be


assembled and connected in many ways to construct objects, including
vehicles, buildings and working robots.

The name ‘’LEGO’’ is a contraction of words : ‘’leg godt’’ which means to


play well. It was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen ,a carpenter
who was in the business of primary household goods.

LEGO company rose to massive popularity in the mid- 20th century. It has
been one of the most successful game brands in the marketing history.

Nine years later LEGO introduced Minifigures, the typically smiling yellow
humanoids that became regular presences in the company’s themed play
sets.

LOSSES FACED BY THE COMPANY

 Throughout the 1990s, LEGO had expanded its products including LEGO Star wars , LEGO
Harry potter and LEGO Technic. While some of these sets were successful but the other led
to issues with oversaturation making it difficult for customers to navigate.

 As video games and digital entertainment became more popular in the late 1990s
and early 2000s, LEGO faced competition for children's attention.

 The combination of oversaturation and competition from digital


entertainment led to a sharp decline in LEGO's financial performance. The
company experienced substantial losses, falling sales, and a decrease in
profitability.

 LEGO's debt levels soared during this period, putting the company
in a precarious financial position. Sales were down as 30% year on
year and it was $800M in debt.
