Like many of the major toy companies of our time, Hasbro didn’t start its journey as a company selling toys. In fact, the company, initially named Hassenfeld Brothers, sold textile remnants in 1923 when siblings Henry, Hilal and Herman Hassenfeld founded it.

From textiles, the brothers went on to manufacture and sell pencil cases and school supplies and eventually, the Hassenfeld brothers started making their own pencils.

It was not until 1940 when the company started manufacturing toys. The first toys Hassenfeld Brothers produced and sold were modeling clay and doctor’s and nurse’s kits. In 1952, the company purchased what would become one of its most iconic toys from inventor George Lerner, Mr. Potato Head. A little over ten years later, the Hassenfeld Brothers came up with what they called an “action figure” and which would become another legendary product in the toy industry: G.I Joe.

The name Hasbro was officially adopted in 1968 and the company continued to grow and diversify its portfolio. By the mid-eighties, Hasbro was the leader toy manufacturer and distributor in the world and had added an extensive list of products to its lineup, including popular brands Transformers and My Little Pony and purchased Milton Bradley Company in 1984.

Today, Hasbro has licensing agreement with a variety of brands, including Marvel Comics and Star Wars and produces toys, apparel and an extensive line of products and it is even involved in movies and television shows.

Swap.com's Rating of Hasbro

A company that includes everyone in the family is always a favorite to us. Hasbro’s toys, games and products take care of every interest for a variety of ages and interests, whether it’s the Sesame Street crowd, the super hero enthusiast, Star Wars aficionados or when we’re just looking for a fun board game to play together on family night.

As always, we are always pleased to see that Hasbro has a strong ethical stand as a corporate entity too. Ethisphere.com named Hasbro one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies in 2014 and CR Magazine placed the company in the “100 Best Corporate Citizens” list two years in a row in 2012 and 2013.

The Civic 50, an annual initiative that recognizes companies’ commitment to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business, recognized Hasbro in 2013 as one of America’s most community-minded companies.

We love Hasbro’s products, but its corporate ethical responsibility is what sets this company apart from other toy manufacturers and that is why we think this company deserves 5 stars out of 5.
