JUNKO STAND NUMBER: 3A D24 CONTACT: 0203 195 3831 Having spotted an opportunity for European expansion over the course of the past year and into 2020, JUNKO is making its Spielwarenmesse debut this February where it will be showcasing its collection of eco-friendly construction toys. JUNKO has earned quite a name for itself since last Toy Fair season, having picked up traction at both retail and across the media for its commitment to sustainability by encouraging children to re-use household items as components to its collection of construction toy parts. Make original, working toy cars, boats, and buildings from junk with the firm’s range of JUNKO kits, each created and developed by an eco-conscious father who thought it was time to act on the issue around wasteful, throwaway plastic. JUNKO is therefore a fully reusable STEM/STEAM toy made from recycled plastic. The range consists of four different kits - JUNKO Zoomer, JUNKO Build, JUNKO Water, and JUNKO Core Zoomer kits. Sales of the range has certainly been picking up for JUNKO who took the chance to broadcast the portfolio to the nation by

appearing on Channel 4’s Buy It now for Christmas in 2019, a real coup for the firm. The firm’s goal for 2020 is to expand into the European market, starting with Nuremberg Toy Fair, as well as tapping into the US and Australian markets. On top of this, JUNKO is tapping into the education sector, where the line has been strongly received. With manufacturing operations now established in Poland, JUNKO is confident that the European market presents large opportunities for the firm.
