Ever wonder where and how K'NEX parts are made?
Thanks to the Rodon Group, K'NEX manufactures all of its bricks, rods and connectors in the United States. Located just two miles from K'NEX in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, the Rodon Group was established in 1956, and is owned and operated by the Glickman family. If that name sounds familiar, it is — Joel Glickman invented the rod and connector building system that has been enriching the lives of families around the world for 16 years, and he currently serves as K'NEX Chairman and CEO!
The Rodon Group is a state-of-the-art, custom injection molder of high precision plastic components with ISO (International Standards Organization) 9001 Certification. ISO 9001 is an international standard that certifies a manufacturer has processes in place to ensure quality products.
The Rodon Group, just like K'NEX, is committed to environmental sustainability. The company's green initiatives make it a leader in the plastics industry. Its manufacturing process minimizes packaging, transportation costs, waste, water consumption and energy. Consider this example: in manufacturing just one of the 73 unique K'NEX parts, the Rodon Group recycles enough cardboard to save 300 cubic yards of landfill space, the equivalent of three football fields!
With over 100 high precision injection molding machines at its 125,000 square foot plant, the Rodon Group manufactures components for medical, dental and exercise equipment, pharmaceutical containers and devices, the construction industry and the automobile industry. It also manufactures custom fasteners, caps, plugs and much more. You can find out more about the Rodon Group at the official company website.
