Keeping LEGO’s Fun-Making Machines Working Well


The world’s most famous toy manufacturer LEGO® is headquartered in Denmark and it operates manufacturing sites in Hungary, Czech Republic, Mexico and China, producing a staggering 36 billion plastic bricks per year. The demand for LEGO® products has reached record levels in recent years, putting the existing manufacturing plants under pressure. ABI's BoardMaster PCB repair equipment was first acquired by LEGO’s manufacturing plant in Monterrey (Mexico), with the aim to take control of the electronics maintenance of the plant’s 700+ plastic injection and molding machines manufactured by Engel and Arburg. The previous external repair service had been disappointing and slow. Following the implementation of the BoardMaster, as well as other initiatives, the Monterrey plant jumped from 3rd to 1st place in productivity, achieving global recognition and setting a new standard within the LEGO® Group.
