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. |
