New U.S. Lego factory raises concerns about Enfield HQ

ENFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Lego Group’s recent announcement that it will build a new factory in Virginia has focused attention on the company’s North American headquarters in Connecticut, with some industry watchers saying it may not be a good sign for the company’s future in the state.

The Denmark-based global toymaker announced last week it plans to invest more than $1 billion to build a factory in suburban Richmond, to open in 2025. The facility will be the company’s seventh globally and its first in the U.S.

A company spokesperson said the decision would have no impact on the size and scope of the Enfield headquarters, and a spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont told Hearst Connecticut Media that Lego’s senior leadership had affirmed its commitment to keep the office in the state.

“It is commonplace for corporations to invest and expand in multiple states — and they do so for a wide variety of strategic reasons,” Max Reiss told the news outlet. “Lego has been and continues to be a fantastic partner with our state and we look forward to strengthening this relationship now and into the future.”

Still, the development raises the question of whether the headquarters might eventually move to Virginia, Fred Carstensen, a professor of finance and economics at the University of Connecticut, told Hearst.

“They better be worried,” Carstensen said of state officials. “Physical proximity of a headquarters to manufacturing facilities is definitely a factor companies consider.”

A number of factors could have persuaded the company to locate the factory elsewhere, said Donald Klepper-Smith, an economist with DataCore Partners.

“Economic development these days speaks to cost structures,” Klepper-Smith told Hearst. “Forty percent of your long-term job growth is a function of the cost of doing business. And when it comes to Connecticut, businesses are being incentivized to look elsewhere.”

Destroying the myth that there is nothing to do here

LEGO History Museum (Gone)

April 12, 2021 by Steve 2 Comments

Studly LEGO History Museum, Enfield August 2018

CT museum visit #400, which is cause for a celebration! This museum was dismantled in 2020. By 2026, all Enfield LEGO business and employees will have moved to Boston.

Alright, here’s the deal. I worked at the LEGO North American headquarters in Enfield for a while. Just doing what I’ve done professionally for a long time. I was their “Consumer Insights Manager” and it was a cool role at a very cool company.

Without boring you too much: My boss was in London, my peer managers were all over the world, and my direct reports were in Enfield and London, with dotted line folks in Singapore and Denmark. Pre-pandemic, I traveled all over… a lot. When I was actually home, my son was an extraordinarily lucky kid during his prime LEGO years. I got to work with and got to know some fantastic and talented people and I will forever be impressed with many aspects of LEGO. It’s an absolutely fascinating company.

(For my money, it’s their QA processes that are most impressive. I became fairly familiar with them and worked with the Danish team who oversaw the production teams in Hungary and … oh you don’t care. LEGO is just cool and working for the company is also cool. Note: this doesn’t mean I’m cool, but my son thought I was pretty cool and cried when I left.)

I no longer worked for LEGO as of May 2019, but everywhere I look in our house, I see LEGO sets. With the deep employee discount, Calvin has pretty much every “big” set made between 2014 and 2020. Punk.

This page is a mix of some random pictures I took that may be of interest to you with a focus, of course, on the little LEGO history museum that used to be in one of the two buildings in Enfield. The company moved all its Enfield employees into one building in late 2019/early 2020 and in so doing, my friends there report that the museum is no longer.

Design HQ in Billund

Let’s start at the beginning… in Billund, Denmark. The name “LEGO” is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”. As an employee, this is tattooed on your brain.

The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder. (Not to be confused with current CEO Niels Christiansen, who is from a different family) Yes, it’s a private, family-owned company. The founder Kristiansen started out building wooden toys and over time moved into the familiar plastic bricks. The full history is quite interesting .

Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s house

The town of Billund is storybook Denmark. I think there are two hotels and a few restaurants. There’s a British Air flight from Heathrow and if you ever happen to find yourself on it, you’ll be surrounded by employees. The Billund airport was built by LEGO. (There’s a Billund Airport LEGO set that you can only buy at the airport. And yes, we have it.) Billund is tiny (pop. 6,660) and it is a true company town. I would guess that 90% of its residents work for LEGO or some business that relies on LEGO.

LEGOLAND Billund

Calvin and his cousin at LEGOLAND California

The coolest thing in Billund, aside from the Danish breakfast spreads at Hotel Svanen, is LEGO House. Fairly new, it’s pretty much a huge modern LEGO playground for all ages. It’s just rad and has a large LEGO history museum to boot. The large scale models here are simply amazing, and – you know what? Time to dispel a myth and confirm another…

Yes, there is a vault in Denmark with every set ever made. No, the large models you’ve seen are not filled with anything other than LEGO bricks. There is a model shop in Enfield, staffed by several builders (and designers), who spend their full days building the huge models that you see at the parks and stores. Each brick is glued in place, one by one. This was always Calvin’s favorite place to visit when he was in the office with me – which was many more times than you’d imagine.

LEGO House in Billund

It is LEGO after all – a family company that makes toys for kids. He even attached a few bricks on a large-scale model that was filmed and appeared in the second LEGO Movie. True story.

I’d show more pictures from LEGO places in London or Singapore or the Czech Republic or… but they all contain people I worked with and, well, I’m not going to do that. But here’s a couple I can comfortably share with no humans:

LEGO Big Ben at The LEGO Store in Leicester Square in London

The LEGO Singapore Hub

The London Hub is the coolest one I saw and worked out of. Which brings us back around to Enfield which is not the coolest LEGO office or location. Sorry fellow Connecticutians. (Although the office I most visited was in Slough and not London, but at least I always stayed and ate in London… even if I almost literally never had time to do anything there after my very first two-week visit. Ok, I had some very memorable evenings in London, but not enough.)

No matter how you slice it, the offices are pretty cool. I’ll not make you mad with all the perks beyond the healthy employee discounts and I dare not mention the benefits. There were a lot of changes after I left with the consolidation of the two buildings. The whole “more collaborative” environment and “hot desk” movement came to LEGO.

My office view

But before all of that, when everyone had space and privacy, there existed the little LEGO History Museum – Ostensibly the reason for this page which I’m finally getting to 900 words in.

The museum was simply a 100-foot-long wall with the company’s history told upon it. I think the biggest question is, “Why Enfield, Connecticut? Why the heck is the LEGO North American headquarters in Enfield, Connecticut?”

[And, as you read at the top, that will no longer be the case by 2026.]

And that’s a very fair and excellent question. And here is your answer.

There was this Shwayder family who was in the luggage and plastics business. Somehow they got hooked up with LEGO in Europe and were granted licensing for production and sales in the US and Canada in 1961. The moulds and equipment were shipped to the US and Shwayder, which made the Samsonite line of luggage, found the toys to be hugely popular. The line was called LEGO by Samsonite during the 1960’s.

The Shwayder most responsible was named King David. Seriously. Just thought I’d throw that in here. And why not another LEGO fact: The Policeman was the first minifigure in 1978. There you go.

There he is. The first minifigure.

Anyway, Samsonite didn’t really know everything about the toy business and sales started flagging in the early 1970’s. Lego Systems, Inc. was set up in Brookfield and ended the Shwayder/Samsonite partnership. They brought in a consultant named Jack Sullivan to figure out why sales were falling.

Sullivan suggested they refocus the way they were marketing (buildable sets rather than just bricks by the pound) and since LEGO thought that was a good idea, they made him president of the US LEGO company. And by 1975, it was decided that Brookfield wasn’t cutting it.

They scouted locations all over the East coast (in order to be closer to Denmark and Europe) and settled on… Enfield. Figuring it was between Boston and New York. That was the official explanation. Also? Jack Sullivan lived in Longmeadow, MA, mere minutes away from the new location.

So there you have it. The North American headquarters has been there ever since.

As with any large international company, things change at different locations. There used to be a fulfillment and distribution center here, but that’s been moved. Bricks were produced in Enfield from 1981 until 1993. Product designer jobs were generally moved to Denmark. Enfield is now customer service (servicing the whole English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French speaking world… at times), and lots of logistics, marketing, planning, IT, and data teams. And much more, of course.

Working with the QA teams in Denmark and the supply chain guys in the US was perhaps the most interesting thing I’ve ever done professionally. Just know this kids: Everything is math in the end. Study hard. Learn to love math. Trust me.

LEGO wasn’t doing too well in the 1990’s by the way. Losing tons of market share to electronics. In fact, the company was nearing bankruptcy. Enter… licensing.

In 1999 the first Star Wars set was introduced and since then, LEGO has been immensely successful. Licensing the Disney, Marvel, DC, Star Wars (on and on) properties was the smartest thing anyone at any toy company has ever done. Side note: Disney sets are super expensive because Disney licensing is super expensive. DC sets are much cheaper because, well, it’s DC.

And that’s pretty much it. A whirlwind history of an incredibly popular and successful company that everyone universally loves. It still faces challenges from electronics and the internet. Intellectual property theft and piracy is a massive issue for LEGO. Being a private Danish company, based in a crimeless town in a lovely country, security was never a top concern.

Well, when you produce bricks in Hungary, China, and Mexico and have fulfillment centers in places like Czech Republic… people will sell things to the Chinese to pirate. It’s a whole thing and it’s a big problem. But LEGO will overcome it.

Hoang chilling with a LEGO Claus at a company party

LEGO employees get awesome employee-only sets every Christmas. This is one from… 2017? I think?

It is also slowly overcoming its negative environmental impact. The hard plastic of the bricks is one thing, but the plastic bags and cardboard is another. LEGO has committed to using non-petroleum based bricks by 2020-something and is phasing out the plastic bags. Oh, and here’s something that will blow your mind…

The Kristiansen family doesn’t just own LEGO. They own KIRKBI which… owns LEGO. (Four family members make up four of the six wealthiest Danes at about $5 billion each. If that was combined into one Kristiansen, he or she would be the wealthiest Dane by more than double the next one.) KIRKBI is an energy company, focusing on wind turbines. It is more profitable than LEGO.

I could tell you a fun story about the Old Trafford set Calvin has here. Ask me sometime.

Wrap your brain around that. Then wrap your brain around the fact that I worked at LEGO and never once mentioned it while doing so on this website. I’m happily employed elsewhere now, still doing data analytics and process improvement stuff… but now for a very, very different, less exciting industry.

I was very fortunate for my time in Enfield… and London… and Billund… and… but I’m also very fortunate to now only travel a handful of times domestically per year. My passport has sat unused for work since April 2019 and I’m okay with that.

Though the top level British Air lounges are pretty nice, I must say. And the Singapore airport is the best in the world. And Calvin misses random free sets on the regular. And… stop. I don’t miss it.

What ever happened to the big Legos in front of the enfeild locations ?

LEGO sold the Brick House building (the one that had the mini-museum and moved all the employees into the other building. I left the company just as that move was completing, and we all figured they’d move the big bricks. In 2023, LEGO sold all Enfield property and finalized a move to Boston. The giant LEGO bricks are, apparently, gone from CT for good.

Lego to move corporate offices from enfield to boston, the move to the new office will happen in a phased way beginning in mid-2025..

Tim Jensen , Patch Staff

ENFIELD, CT — The LEGO Group announced Tuesday it will depart Enfield and re-locate its head office in the Americas to Boston by the end of 2026.

The move to the new office will happen in a phased way beginning in mid-2025, according to a spokesperson for the LEGO Group.

"Until then, our employees will work across two sites – the existing office in Enfield and our LEGO Education office in Back Bay, Boston, where new roles will be located," the spokesperson said. "All colleagues based in Enfield will have a position in the new location and will receive relocation assistance if they wish to make the move."

About 740 people work full-time from the Enfield office.

Skip Kodak, president of the LEGO Group in the Americas, said the move would support the business’s long-term growth ambitions to bring LEGO play to even more children in the U.S. and the Americas region.

"Boston is ranked one of the best cities in the world to attract and retain talent," Kodak said. "This, along with its world-class academic institutions, skilled workforce and great quality of life makes it an ideal location for our US head office. We have exciting plans for the next phase of growth and hope we can retain many of our current team, as well as attract new colleagues."

The LEGO Group opened its Enfield office in 1975. The original site was home to a factory and warehouse, but the current location is only offices. The building is now owned by Winstanley Enterprises and is shared with Coca Cola as the other tenant.

"Enfield has been their home for almost 50 years and we were sorry to hear this news," Mayor Bob Cressotti said. "But, on the other side, we were relieved to hear that all employees were being retained, and those who choose not to will be eligible for job transition assistance."

Town Manager Ellen Zoppo-Sassu said, "LEGO has been a very generous corporate citizen especially as it relates to the Family Resource Centers and we hope to continue that relationship as one of their key legacies in this area."

"The news is disappointing, and we as lawmakers need to learn important lessons from it," state Sen. John Kissel said. "We need to assess the reasons LEGO is leaving and make positive changes to our state’s public policies in response. We should view this as a teachable moment to make Connecticut more affordable and more appealing to businesses like LEGO."

State Rep. Carol Hall added, "While the news of LEGO's move doesn't come as a complete shock, it's still disappointing that a great community partner who has been a fixture in our community for almost fifty years has chosen to move their operations to a neighboring state. Hopefully, Connecticut will take this unfortunate news as an opportunity to reflect on what we are doing as a state to retain and attract new businesses."

Gov. Ned Lamont said, "I am disappointed to hear today’s news, but I am confident in Connecticut’s ability to attract and retain companies that value our competitive advantages in education, workforce, and quality of life. We are seeing these advantages resonate more and more in industries such as advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and fintech. Based on my conversations this morning with LEGO’s leadership, their move is motivated not by any Connecticut policy but rather LEGO’s desire to consolidate their business operations near the company’s Education Office and to enhance their partnership with MIT. While LEGO has announced that no layoffs will be part of the relocation, the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of Workforce Strategy, and Department of Labor will work with LEGO to place affected workers who choose to depart the company and stay in Connecticut."

"My office has a great working relationship with LEGO and its workforce in Enfield, so I’m very disappointed by today’s news," U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney said. "This announcement reflects a broader shift by LEGO around the globe to focus more on e-commerce and digital marketing, and to move themselves into denser urban areas such as Boston, London, and Singapore. This change will be a four-year process, and my office has been assured that over that time, employees will be given a chance to retain their positions in Boston if they choose. In the meantime, it is important that the State of Connecticut—whose labor market has tens of thousands of job openings—connect this highly talented workforce to great career opportunities that exist in our region, from clean energy production, to all sorts of advanced manufacturing and engineering, and more. My office will be monitoring this process closely with state and local officials to make sure LEGO employees in north central Connecticut are treated properly, and that they’ve got access to every opportunity for skills training and other forms of transitional support."

LEGO will begin a search for a new office location in central Boston, the company spokesperson said.

Lego to leave Connecticut after nearly 50 years and move North American headquarters to Boston

Lego is taking its bricks and moving out of Connecticut.

The Lego Group announced Tuesday that it’s relocating to Boston and moving its North American headquarters out of Enfield after nearly 50 years.

The move is expected to happen by the end of 2026.

The move will help support the business’s long-term growth ambitions, the company said in a statement.

“Boston is ranked one of the best cities in the world to attract and retain talent,” Skip Kodak, president of the Lego Group in the Americas, said in a statement. “This, along with its world-class academic institutions, skilled workforce and great quality of life makes it an ideal location for our U.S. head office. We have exciting plans for the next phase of growth and hope we can retain many of our current team, as well as attract new colleagues.”

Kodak said the company is grateful for “the support we’ve received in Connecticut over the past 50 years. This has allowed us to build a successful business and inspire millions of children.”

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said he was disappointed to hear the news of the move.

He said that based on conversations with Lego leaders, the move was motivated “not by any Connecticut policy” but by a desire to consolidate business operations near the company’s education office and enhance a partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“I am confident in Connecticut’s ability to attract and retain companies that value our competitive advantages in education, workforce, and quality of life,” Lamont said in a statement. “We are seeing these advantages resonate more and more in industries such as advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and fintech.”

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy said that Lego's decision comes as “many other companies are relocating" to Connecticut.

“Yes, this announcement is a disappointment, but Connecticut’s economy is doing well, and more and more workers and companies are coming back to our state because of our great quality of life, highly trained workforce, and good business climate,” Murphy said in a statement.

There are about 740 full-time workers in Lego’s Enfield office.

The move is scheduled to begin in mid-2025. Lego said it wants to give employees “plenty of time to plan their futures.” Until then, Lego employees will work in Enfield and at the company’s education office in Boston’s Back Bay.
