Who Made My Lego?

---

So my favorite toy of all would be Lego, and I like to build things in my spare time like after I finish homework. So history of Lego first originated in Denmark by a carpenter, Ole Kirk Christiansen, who was a wooden toy maker. Have you ever wonder what Lego means, it is Danish phrase for play well. So Legos are built in four factories that start off from granules, which are small pellets. The granules are then put in silos and then melted and form their shapes from molds. After making the pieces, they aren't sent to apply color details like faces or control panels and are made from mostly machine. In the end, the pieces are sorted and create Lego sets that are shipped around the world and makes millions year around. There are four factories that make Lego pieces, Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, and Czech Republic. The findings weren't surprising because from the research I done the manufacturing of Lego requires high tech machinery, so there is a lot of means of production with machines and convey belts. I also felt that working a Lego require criteria of creativity and other repertoire like engineers, people on the floor, etc.. By discovering what is put into making expensive pieces of plastic, it doesn't really change my view ow legos are made.
