Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish carpenter, established the construction toy company Lego in 1932. Originally a woodworking shop, the business evolved to produce wooden toys and was officially named Lego in 1934. Transitioning to plastic brick manufacturing in 1947 after acquiring a plastic moulding injection machine, the company flourished. Following his passing in 1958, his son, Godtfred, took over the management of the company. Ole Kirk Christiansen’s legacy is defined by his transformation of a modest workshop into the globally renowned Lego brand we know today.
