Founded almost 35 years ago in 1978 and located in southern Germany at the bottom of the Swabian Alps in Germnay is a town called Hochdorf. Here the Grimm's toy company designs new products, and finishes each product.
We are a small firm based in Hochdorf at the foot of the Swabian Alb in southern Germany. Here we coat the wood with natural oil, stain with water-based colour and control the quality of our products, then pack and send them all over the world!
All our new toys are designed here. We hope to surprise and delight you each and every year!
The Woodworking is outsourced to a few independent shops in Europe only.
