“The new partnership will see the company soar new heights of growth because the range of toys are “of high quality, hence durable,” Kirubi said.

“The partnership has been informed by the Mattel Toys’ plan to diversify its markets outside the United States,” the statement read in part.

“HACO is suitable because it has wide distribution networks in the EAC and COMESA region,” Kirubi said.

Most of these toy brands are stored in Two Rivers mall.

Globally, revenue in the toys industry this year alone has been estimated to amounts to Ksh. 82.2 billion  and is expected to grow at the rate of 10.7 per cent annually.
