Named after Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras, Tegu is a vertically-integrated toy company with its manufacturing facility in Honduras and commercial office in Darien, Connecticut.

In addition to online distribution through Tegu.com and Amazon, Tegu Blocks can now be found in retail shops throughout the USA and Canada; the company’s growing retail distribution network currently includes over 1,000 outlets in the toy, gift, design, and museum channels. Tegu Blocks sell in both iconic retail locations like the Museum of Modern Art and premium mass retailers like Pottery Barn Kids. In 2013, Tegu is expanding its distribution network in Europe and Asia. Tegu Honduras is seeking to build its team to become a world-class manufacturing company, employing the principles and practices of Lean Manufacturing and furthering the development of the Honduran / Central American industry and economy.
