It all began one evening
when Joel Glickman was playing with straws. That's right... straws!
While sitting at a crowded, noisy wedding Joel began tinkering with
some straws and thinking about the possibilities. This dabbling, followed
by some innovative product engineering, led to the very popular Rod
and Connector building system now available throughout the world.
But this was just the beginning of the K'NEX
concept. Soon K'NEX builders were
able to add wheels, pulleys and gears to create vehicles and other
innovative creations. Easy-to-follow, color-coded instructions, included
in every set, made it easy to bring the models to life.
Then came the products that MOVE. From simple mechanical drives to
special models with integrated motors, K'NEX
products were really going places. This led to programmable control,
including the CyberK'NEX concept
that allows actions and personalities to be downloaded from the Internet.
New
color palettes were introduced for realistic and hot looking vehicles
and space models. The new Cool Machines line include chrome wheels
and parts for even greater realism.
Today K'NEX continues to pace the
construction toy worlds with quality and innovation, and maintains
this online presence to keep in touch with its users, their parents,
and the general community. |
