In a crowded toy market dominated by screens and subscriptions, Magna-Tiles quietly built a $35.4M empire by turning simple magnetic tiles into an obsession. They're not selling toys—they're selling open-ended creativity that parents can't stop buying.

"Magna-Tiles doesn't compete with other toys—they compete with everything else a child could build."

The company's 74-person team generates $35.4M in revenue—that's $478K per employee. For a physical product company, this is remarkably efficient. They're not bloated with feature teams; they're focused on execution. The tech stack reveals this pragmatism: Shopify for commerce, Tailwind and Bootstrap for rapid UI development, and PWA capabilities for mobile commerce. They're not building custom platforms; they're leveraging best-in-class tools to move fast.
