K'NEX offers exceptional play value through building and bringing models to life. It inspires creativity, builds self-confidence and encourages interaction among children and parents. The possibilities are endless! K'NEX Industries, Inc. is a privately held company, with the headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. Today, K'NEX is the number one construction toy company in the non-brick category and getting bigger every day! Internationally, K'NEX products are distributed by Hasbro, one of the world's leading toy manufacturers and distributors. This Is What We Believe: We believe that the company can be financially successful while behaving in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. We believe that our product, K'NEX, is unique and worthwhile; that it is capable of enriching the lives of those who use it, both through pure enjoyment and through its educational impact; and that these genuine qualities must be sustained with all the innovation and creativity we can muster. We believe that K'NEX is as safe as human ingenuity can make it, and we must make this intrinsic in every design we devise and publish. We believe that the company has a responsibility to provide a safe and fulfilling work environment, and an opportunity to grow and learn. And This Is Why We're Here: To be a profitable and successful company, while acting in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Unless we achieve these goals, nothing that follows below will long be possible. To provide a safe, effective, innovative, and distinctive construction set that truly delights the senses of sight and touch at every age, and tickles the senses of humor and wonder. To respect the intelligence of our customers by providing products and designs that do exactly what we advertise they will, without artifice, deception or puffery. To value and respect our co-workers, to be concerned about and contribute to their well being, and to act with integrity so as to deserve their trust. To provide meaningful work, fair compensation, and a safe, healthy work environment that encourages openness, creativity, focus, self-discipline and growth. To acknowledge the value of each person's contribution to our goals. To foster teamwork in our tasks. To work together to contribute to the long-term value and sustainability of our company. To encourage diverse perspectives and talents that will enrich K'NEX as a product, and to broaden the base of understanding among all the people who work with us at K'NEX. Adapted from The Soul of a Business, by Tom Chappell Connector Set Limited Partnership Although the company has been operating as a toy company only since 1992, The Rodon Group has been in business since 1956. Both companies have been operated as an extended family, and have internalized and embodied over that period a system of principles, procedures and values that have served to enhance the success of the companies, and to encourage the personal and professional growth of the people we work with every day.
