Long (≈ 220 words)

Erdem Toys is a Turkish plastic toy manufacturer headquartered in Istanbul. The company entered the toy industry in 1995 as an importer, broke ground on its own production centre in 2013, and installed its first injection moulding line in 2014 — the start of in-house manufacturing. A paint shop, metalwork capability and robotic scooter line followed in 2016. The first export shipment went out in 2020, and a blow moulding line was added in 2021, launching ball pit ball production. By 2022, the catalog was produced entirely domestically. Today Erdem Toys operates from a roughly 4,000 m² facility, manufactures more than 50 product variants and supplies wholesalers, distributors, retail chains and importers across Europe and the Middle East. All products are CE-marked under the EU Toy Safety Directive (2009/48/EC) and tested against EN 71-1 (mechanical and physical), EN 71-2 (flammability) and EN 71-3 (migration of certain elements). Materials are tested under REACH. The company offers private-label and OEM manufacturing for retail brands. Erdem Toys is a B2B-only operation — pricing is quote-based per contract, and the website does not sell directly to consumers.
