TARGET GROUP

Technical toys
The technical toys product group is extremely multifaceted with its wide range of toys. Building and construction sets, marble runs and metal toys span a broad field together.

Educational toys
Children improve their understanding of their environment through toys. Parents looking to help their children to develop their abilities even more effectively and purposefully often turn first to educational and technical toys. Such toys are usually adapted for different age groups and, for example, are made easier for smaller children to understand or more complex and demanding for older kids. With stable growth prospects in the global market, this group can position itself broadly and internationally.

Action toys
Collectibles go down a treat with film fans, while our ever-growing need to express ourselves and externalise our attitudes and preferences can also be seen in the sale of collectible figures. For various licences such as the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, there are figures big and small for enthusiastic fans.
