Lego consists of variously coloured interlocking plastic bricks made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) that accompany an array of gears, figurines called minifigures, and various other parts. Its pieces can be assembled and connected in many ways to construct objects, including vehicles, buildings, and working robots.

Up through the 1950s and 1960s the company invests in several different machines in order to keep pace with rising production. As far back as 1950 it acquires a semi‑automatic molding machine with pneumatic injection built by Messrs. Jørgen Bruun – a machine which continues in service until 1982.
