Hasbro is a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time entertainment products and services, including the design, manufacture and marketing of games and toys ranging from traditional to high-tech.

Hasbro (NYSE:HAS) is the second largest toymaker in the world; only Mattel is larger.

Hasbro was founded in 1923 by two brothers, Henry and Helal Hassenfeld, in a small office in Providence, Rhode Island. Originally named Hassenfeld Brothers, the Company first sold textile remnants, but soon moved into manufacturing pencil boxes and school supplies.

Over the past few years, Hasbro has placed renewed emphasis on building its business through a three-pronged approach - building upon its core brands in both toy and non-toy categories; identifying opportunistic trends and innovative products; and licensing agreements with the entertainment industry's premier companies, such as Disney and Lucasfilm.
