The LEGO Group

The LEGO Group is a family-owned company based in Billund, Denmark, and best known for the manufacture of LEGO brand toys.

The company was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. The word Lego is derived from the Danish words "leg godt," meaning "play well." The word "lego" also means "I put together" in Latin, and "I connect" or "I tie" in Italian. In the first half of 2014, the Lego Group became the world's largest toy company by market value, surpassing Mattel.

On January 23, 2015, the Lego Group and Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced that they were manufactured licensed products of Scooby-Doo, beginning at five sets and to be sold in stores from August the same year. In addition, Warner Bros. Animation will produce a 22-minute TV special, to be followed by a series of direct-to-video films by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, in the years to come.
