Hasbro, Inc. is an American multinational toy and board game company. It is one of the largest toy makers in the world. The corporate headquarters is located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The majority of its products are manufactured in East Asia. Over the years Hasbro has outsourced the manufacture of its products to third-party companies, mostly in China.

A search of the US trademark database reveals that the first use of the word Hasbro as a brand was March, 1959. Unclear if that was for games or toys.
