Horst Brandstätter took the company to completely new dimensions and led it to global success. He made the impossible possible. When “HoB” first exhibited his Playmobil figures at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 1974, no retailer wanted to order them. But he believed in himself and his team – achieved a global success. His passion, his foresight and his spirit as a courageous entrepreneur still provide an excellent role model for successfully driving the development of the Horst Brandstätter Group.
A glance at his life reveals that he was a modern and timeless entrepreneur who never slowed down. His ability to permanently question and develop himself was decisive in turning a small company into an international group of companies.
PLAYMOBIL®’s unique play principle stimulates imagination and creativity and thus promotes child development. With PLAYMOBIL®, children can not only slip into many different roles, but also recreate and experience the world in miniature.
With multiple talents, these cheerful figures successfully overcome all kinds of challenges – as knights or pirates in historical scenarios, as construction workers, vets and police officers today, or as secret agents in futuristic worlds.
The creative people at PLAYMOBIL® are constantly developing new ideas and enhancements that will bring long-lasting fun to children everywhere.
