The first nine months of this year have been inspiring and
satisfying for us. Despite a sluggish worldwide economy, Hape
stands out among our industry peers as able to keep moving to
the future and is well positioned for a global economy. The
future looks very bright for Hape.
At the group level, with the recent acquisition of Käthe Kruse and
George Luck Puzzles, Hape Holding AG is confident to achieve
further sales growth. I'd like to thank our staff all around the world
for working hand-in-hand to achieve such a wonderful result.
In the toy industry, the last three months of the year are very
important. So, I count on your unwavering support for future
achievement.
In September, children began a new school year. And, as one of
the world's largest wooden toy manufacturers for
young children, we think about how to
prepare children to be their best. We wish
them a healthy, happy and meaningful
life. This is also our lifelong pursuit.
Sincerely,
Peter Handstein
Founder & CEO
Letter from CEO
"I want the steady happiness that can be
touched with both hands,
That I can always feel your temperature by
each hug.
I want the steady happiness that can be
measured by lifeline,
So that I would never get lost, wherever I am."
(Song: Steady Happiness, Eason Chan)
