rolly toys ... got what it takes to play!

rolly toys - January 2010

 
Quality - "Made in Germany"!

 

Franz and Rosa Schneider, founders of the Franz Schneider GmbH & Co. KG toy company, would have been 100 years old in 2009.

A good reason to remember, a good reason to celebrate, but definitely no reason to have a rest. At least to Frank Schneider’s mind, who took over rolly toys company from his parents Gernot and Irmgard Schneider. Founded back in 1938 by his grandparents as toy industry supplier, the medium-sized company is more successful and more active on the market than ever before and still is a family-owned enterprise – a real rarity today.

Over three generations rolly toys have been able to preserve the dynamic which led to the company foundation more than 70 years ago. A dynamic which helps to anticipate the future and tackle challenges proactively. Tradition and modernity are not mutually exclusive. That’s a fact proven by rolly toys, a top-class premium brand and well-positioned for 2010. rolly toys’ commitment to Germany as their development and production site turned out to be productive and sustainable.

Despite poor economic conditions, “Made in Germany” enjoys rising popularity with retailers and consumers in Germany and abroad.

 

Consumers once more rate originality and design, safe functionality, best value and sturdiness as essential criteria for their buying decision. A fact that argues in favour of the well-balanced, distinctive product portfolio made by rolly toys.

All rolly toys products are regularly tested for compliance with the legally required international quality and safety standard EN 71 by independent testing institutes. All functional toys are TÜV/GS-certified and bear the official CE mark. Export products for the USA are also tested for compliance with ASTM standards. So customers – retailers as well as final consumers – know for certain, that products are only made of physiologically harmless materials and environment friendly plastics. What is more, many items of the rolly toys product range have also been awarded the Spiel Gut seal.

New Premium Tractor – Claas Arion 640

CLAAS Arion 640 is the fourth vehicle for the premium segment, after John Deere 7930, Fendt Vario 936, and Deutz Agrotron X 720. Starting with the International Toy Fair 2010 in Nuremberg, specialized toy retailers may order the CLAAS Arion 640 in three different variants:

 
 
 

Another exclusive rolly toys premium tractor accessory is the detachable rollyTrac Loader, a functional accessory that can be added at any time. rollyTrac Loaders are easily detachable: Even children are able to change the front loader from one premium tractor to the other or swap for another accessory. What is more, the new pedal-driven tractors are compatible with any other accessory part from rolly toys. A perfect addition for the CLAAS Arion 640 is the existing rollyHalfpipe Trailer, also available in CLAAS Design. The highly detailed licensed model has been developed in close cooperation with CLAAS in Harsewinkel and is down to the tiniest detail a perfect imitation of the original tractor. With the opening bonnet the new model is a wonderful addition to the broad range of vehicles made by rolly toys. All models are TÜV/GS tested and come with a three-year Pro-Stabil-Warranty.

 

The new rollyKipper II is a sturdy two-wheeled trailer with tipping dump-bed. As always, the trailer is compatible with all rolly toys tractors, from the smallest rollyKid model through to the largest pedal-driven rollyX-Trac. From February 2010, the trailer is available in two neutral colours and in officially licensed John Deere design. The rollyKipper II replaces the previous rollyKipper model that had been on market for more than 20 years. In different variants and almost unchanged since it made its debut in 1986, the first rollyKipper has always been an integral part of the popular vehicle and accessory range made by rolly toys. Of course, play value, sturdiness, quality and functionality have again been the most important parameters for the design of the new rollyKipper II. These standards are the main reason for the success and good reputation rolly toys quality products enjoy today. Also the rollyKipper II includes a three-year Prostabil warranty.
