The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Mega Bloks began in Canada in 1985. The company built plastic construction blocks for children. Their blocks were larger than competitors' blocks. Size made them safer for young hands. The brand grew across North America and Europe. Today Mega Bloks appears in 6649 tracked brands. They rank fourth in Baby, Kids & Toys. Parents know them for durable, colorful building sets. The blocks still define their business. Construction play remains their core strength.
