2015 is (again) a big year for LEGO

LEGO has just taken stock of the 2015 financial year and unsurprisingly, the results are good: Double-digit growth in all the markets where the brand is present with an average of 19.3% (25.2% with currency differences) , operating margin reaching 34.2%, net margin of 25.6%, all is well.

LEGO takes the opportunity to invest in everything: Extension and construction of factories, hiring galore (more than 2500 recruitments in 2015 for a total of more than 17000 employees), research center to find an alternative to ABS plastic, etc. .

355 new products were launched in 2015, the five ranges that hit the mark last year are: City, Ninjago, DUPLO, Star Wars and Friends, the brand is present on store shelves in more than 140 countries, no product recall did not take place in 2015, 725 million minifigs and 675 million tires made in 2015, 72 billion bricks were sold and the LEGO inventory now has over 3600 different items and 60 color variations.

The top 5 sales in 2015: 41062 Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle (€ 44.99), 75105 Millennium Falcon (€ 164.99), 60047 City Police Station (€ 99.99), 31313 Mindstorms EV3 (€ 369.99), 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel (139.99 €).
