Early product development

• In 1932, Ole Kirk's shop started making wooden toys such as piggy banks, pull toys, cars and trucks.

• Following World War II, plastics became available in Denmark, and Lego purchased a plastic injection molding machine in 1947.

• One of the first modular toys to be produced was a truck that could be taken apart and re-assembled.

• In 1947, Ole Kirk and Godtfred obtained samples of interlocking plastic bricks produced by the company Kiddicraft.

• In 1949 the Lego Group began producing similar bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks”, then manufactured from cellulose acetate.

• In 1958 the bricks were improved with hollow tubes in the underside of the brick.

• In 1963, the material used to create Lego bricks, cellulose acetate (CA), was dropped in favor of more stable acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS plastic), which is still used today.
