Representing Sri Lanka at one of the world’s largest toy fair
Panther, one of
the first and only manufacturers of educational toys, games and stationery in
Sri Lanka recently participated at the Nürnberg Toy Fair in Germany, one
of the three largest toy exhibitions in the world and one of the toy
industry's leading trade shows. Showcasing products ranging from sand crafts to
board games and jigsaw puzzles, Sri Lanka’s toy manufacturers exhibited a wide
variety of new and existing products at a self standing booth for the fourth consecutive
year.
Commenting on
their participation at Nürnberg Mohanthi Atukorala, Director, Panther, said, “Year
on year at Nürnberg Toy Fair we see great opportunities. We see it as a space
for us to showcase the quality products created by Panther and an opportunity
for us to see what is happening in the world of toys and stationery. At Nürnberg
we have also created partnership with world famous creative talents to create
exclusive ranges of products for Panther. Last year we partnered with Belgium designer, Piet
De Rycker to develop and launch the ‘Happy Do’s’ range of stationery, which has
seen a great demand as it is young, vibrant and different.”
Talking about
their products Mohanthi further
added, “Our aim is to create cost effective products that are effective and of good quality. Every
Panther product is made to the highest quality standards from non-toxic ink and
materials; they conform to EN 71 standards. Careful research goes into the design
and development of every Panther item and the company counts leading
educational practitioners and child psychologists in the country as consultants
on all our products.”
Panther
has created a cross section of products that includes challenging games, puzzles,
books and flash cards that, among other advantages, aid colour and shape
recognition, encourage logical thinking, enhance vocabulary and encourage cognitive
development through play and reading. For a preview of the full range of
Panther products available, can be obtained at www.panther.lk.
