LEGO Polska Sp. z o.o. is the Polish subsidiary 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 LEGO Group has grown from a small carpenter's workshop in Denmark into one of the world's leading manufacturers of play materials, employing over 31,000 people across more than 40 countries.
The company's core product is the LEGO brick, an interlocking plastic building system that has remained fundamentally unchanged since 1958 and has twice been named "Toy of the Century." Beyond the classic brick, the LEGO Group operates across several connected areas:
- LEGO Education – products and programmes designed to support learning through play and the development of 21st-century skills in school settings
- The LEGO Foundation – the charitable arm that champions learning through play globally
- LEGO House – an experiential venue in Denmark offering creative experiences for children and families
The LEGO Group's stated mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow, with a focus on helping children build systematic creativity, logical reasoning, and imaginative problem-solving. The company also maintains active commitments to sustainability across its products and corporate practices. Its name derives from the Danish phrase leg godt - "play well."
