Simba is a German company founded in 1982 by Fritz Sieber. Together with his son and with only five employees, it has grown rapidly through the acquisition of prestigious brands such as Eichhorn, Schuco, Majorette and Smoby.

Today, under the name Simba Dickie Group, it employs 3,700 people, is one of the top five companies in the toy industry, and in addition to its headquarters in Frankfurt, has opened offices in France and Hong Kong as well as an extensive production network worldwide.

The company’s philosophy has always been “We love making toys.” In particular, the safety and tolerability aspects of the products are highly valued, so special care is given to the choice of construction materials.
