Playmobil's theme park in Malta has captured children's imagination

Knights looking down from a castle provide a grand entrance to Malta's Playmobil theme park. Lifesize figures of a farmer and a pirate tower over children at the Playmobil farm where youngsters can ride pigs and a crocodile, "milk" a cow (it's only water) and ride narrow-waisted horses.

The original FunPark at the German toymaker's headquarters in Zirndorf in Bavaria is much bigger, but the Maltese version is popular. "There isn't much here [in Malta] for children," says Noel Zarb, a salesman at Playmobil Malta . He says local children come every day.

A 45-minute tour of the adjacent Playmobil factory (£7 including FunPark entry), the company's second-largest, is also a highlight. Children discover how the seven parts of a 7.5cm Playmobil figure, with its ever-smiling face, are made from tiny plastic granules and put together to form princesses, pirates, police officers and secret agents.

In Malta, Playmobil makes 2m of the tiny precision-moulded figures every week – five times the island state's total full-size population.

At a time when 80% of the world's toys are made in China, Playmobil has stubbornly resisted pressure to shift production to the far east. Helga Ellul, the head of Playmobil Malta, says the company looked at it eight years ago but found that the cost advantage was not that big, partly because its main export markets are in Europe . Since then, Chinese wages have risen.

Playmobil is also anxious to retain control over quality. The company's owner, Horst Brandstätter, once told his workers: "If we wanted to produce in China , I would have to clone you all."

The toymaker only produces a few electronic parts in China, for example for the new Top Agents series and the flashing light atop its police car. Its Danish arch-rival Lego – the top toy brand in Germany , which has relegated Playmobil to second place – is also largely manufactured in Europe, although it has moved more production to the far east than Playmobil.

The plastic figures owe their existence to the 1970s oil crisis. The family-owned parent company, which started out making toy telephones and brought the hula hoop to Europe, asked its head designer, (then called 'sample maker') Hans Beck, to come up with a smaller toy to save on plastic. He sketched out a short figure with a smiling face, but dropped the nose after children told him it looked like a clown. Initially the legs could be moved separately, but he found that made the figure unstable and opted for legs that only move in tandem.

"At the time we only had big dolls and tin soldiers," recalls Ellul. "Mr Beck's idea was to create a small world for children, a replica of what they live in. None of us, not even Mr Brandstätter, knew the power of this toy at that time."

The basic design has not changed since then and today's accessories are compatible with the original figures. Production started in Malta in 1974, where the unemployment rate was 20%, whereas Germany had close to full employment. Maltese wages were only a 10th of those in Germany (they have now risen to between a third and a half). The Maltese government lured foreign companies with tax breaks and paid for the building of the Playmobil factory. Today Playmobil employs 900 people in Malta – the second-largest employer after ST Microelectronics.

The ever-expanding Playmobil world scores highly on gender equality - there are female firefighters, police officers and vets – but does less well on multiculturalism – there aren't many non-white characters.

It regards itself as a predominantly European brand. "It is very much a toy that appeals to the European culture," says Ellul. "We are in the US and Canada but feel it is much more difficult to get our message across."

Britain also falls into this camp: its children are seen as less keen on role-playing than those on the continent and regarded as having a shorter attention span. "Too many video games, children being left alone at home in front of the telly, both parents working," says the UK commercial director, Graham Brennan.

"There is a huge difference between the social sectors in the UK. In Europe it's more evenly paced. And French children love collecting." France is Playmobil's biggest export market.

Even though the UK is a small part of Playmobil – it generated sales of just £20m last year out of a group total of €507m (£439m) – there are plans to open a theme park in the south-west within the next five years. "It's a question of when – not if," says Brennan. Sometimes Playmobil is a little too close to life. Brennan recalls a barrage of complaints when Playmobil produced a female figure bottle-feeding a baby in a hospital. "People complained saying you are telling young girls not to breast-feed," he says. "I pointed out to them that it is just a toy."

Some 24,000 tonnes of plastic go into making Playmobil toys every year. Pellets of clear plastic are mixed with coloured granules, heated up and injected into moulds. The machines spit out 32 heads every 20 seconds, still hot. The eyes and mouth are injected from inside the face rather than printed on so they don't rub off. Some 46 km of overhead pipes ferry the plastic around the Maltese factory.

The whole process is automated, except for the bagging and boxing at the end, and takes about five minutes. One giant machine assembles the figures part by part – a 'skeleton' holds everything together – and cameras monitor every move. If a figure is found to have a part missing, it is despatched into a bin. More complex characters such as Santa Claus are assembled by hand.

Unlike other toymakers, Brandstätter, 78, who wants to hand over the company to a foundation when he retires, has resisted TV or film tie-ins. Despite the success of Lego's Star Wars computer game, he is not interested in licensed toys, saying they get in the way of imaginative play. "Playmobil could easily do Harry Potter but licences are expensive," says Bernhard Hane, head of research and development.

But there are some signs that Playmobil, which has seen its target age group slipping from four to 10 to four to eight, is starting to move with the times. This year's Top Agents range, featuring a remote-controlled car with a video camera, is a nod to the popularity of hi-tech toys. But it's not all about gadgets. A Playmobil bestseller in the UK is the swimming pool with water slide. "The pool is selling exceptionally well. I think it's the guy with the Speedos!" says Brennan.

Playmobil in Malta – German companies with a branch

“No one in the world knows Malta, how can you possibly start a company there!” This is what my friends and acquaintances told me when I told them about my plans of moving to Malta to work in the office of Dr. Werner & Partner. I would say it took me about five minutes to confront and surprise them with the facts about the island. For example, there are a number of German companies that have a branch in Malta. Lufthansa, Bosch and Playmobil are among the most prominent examples.

I have visited the Playmobil factory in Malta on several occasions. Visitors can see a small castle in front of the production facility, and you can register for tours around the factory in the shop and fun park. Many tasks are automated, and since everything is kept incredibly clean, one might even think that it is a pharmaceutical company producing medication.

Playmobil is not just only a toy manufacturer anymore, they generate a yearly turnover of more than €550 million, which is no longer taken for granted in times of online gaming and game consoles. However, these figures can only be achieved when the cost of production is kept a close eye on. In 1971, the Playmobil founder chose to move part of the production to Malta (and not to Asia!) in order to keep 100% of the production, and to ensure high quality.

Playmobil is without doubt one of the largest employers in Malta. The Maltese appreciate the company, and a very positive working relationship has developed over the years.

Even though Malta was not a member state of the European Union in 1971, and the taxation was different, the island nation has now become a very interesting option for German and other European companies due to the current tax laws. With the right company structure, it is possible to achieve an effective tax rate of just 5%, which is the lowest in the whole of the EU. The office of Dr. Werner & Partner can give you advice, and even if you are not a global player such as Playmobil, it may be possible to reduce the tax burden for your own company as well.

Incredible 123m yacht, formerly part of Saudi royal’s Golden Fleet, docks in Malta

Golden Odyssey is purportedly owned by Saudi Prince Khaled bin Sultan

by Solomon Cefai

March 18, 2022

ADVERTISEMENT

Malta-based yacht enthusiasts are in for a treat, as a remarkable 123m super yacht, which reportedly cost $400 million (€362 million), has docked in its Grand Harbour marina.

An image of the yacht, named Golden Odyssey was shared on a yachting enthusiast social media page, towering over surrounding buildings at the Palumbo shipyard.

Golden Odyssey was built in 2015 by German shipyard L¨urssen in 2015, and is registered under a German flag.

It is not the first time the vessel has called in Malta, with it also being caught on camera docking in the country in late 2020.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 (@noticeamazing)

Details on yacht ownership can sometimes be hard to come by, but Golden Odyssey once formed part of the so-called Golden Fleet of yachts owned by Prince Khaled bin Sultan, son of the late Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia.

The Golden Odyssey was first known as Project Tatiana, and was initially speculated to have been commissioned by Russian clients before being sold before completion, although these rumours have not been confirmed.

The rumoured sale, if true, would have been fortunate, as a number of super yachts, owned by wealthy sanctioned Russians are being seized across Europe.

The Playmobil Park of Malta

But what’s Playmobil doing in Malta ? A park to visit, but above all a story to know before you go.

Important: Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to visit the Playmobil factory, but the park and the store remain open.

Over 50 years ago now, a toy design empire was born (in Germany): Playmobil. The latter will mark many generations and several million children (or grandchildren). However, few people know that the brand’s development is partly due to its factory in Malta , one of its first foreign-based factories and their second largest .

The history of Playmobil in Malta

The common history of Malta and the Playmobil brand begins in the 1970s . At that time, Geobra Brandstätter (a German family-owned toy company) asked its creative director (Hans Beck ) to develop smaller, less expensive toys in terms of raw materials. Thus were born the first Playmobil figures and the brand of the same name.

With the success of its new product , the company decided to set up in Malta because of the rising costs and the lack of manpower in Germany. The impact on the Maltese economy was immediate. The island factory sees its number of employees and its production capacity grow steadily (probably the “Maltese Touch”).

The love story between the brand and the archipelago continues as it created a “Playmobil Funpark ” in Hal Far near the factory in 2004. This park offers the opportunity to all miniature aficionados to play and interact with them in a proper, fun and safe environment .

Playmobil FunPark Malta

With an area of 2000m² , the park also offers a number of activities such as an outdoor playground, a showroom, life-size Playmobil animals and water activities. You will also find the Playmobil factory full of secrets, discoveries and anecdotes of all kinds. Something for the whole family!

The air-conditioned indoor playground is divided into different themes where the child’s imagination can flourish with princesses, knights and police atmospheres! Creativity is encouraged for toddlers up to age 4 and up to also improve their cognitive skills. Children can make up their own stories with the many Playmobil sets and figures available.

You can also find the exclusive Playmobil Shop in Malta’s FunPark which is stocked with the latest Playmobil range designed to keep kids and loved ones entertained for hours. With a wide range of toys for infants (1, 2 and 3 years) to promote playful development and complex toys for children 4 years and older to build. Kids identify with fictional characters and create crazy stories with their new friends!

At the Playmobil FunPark, you can also enjoy a snack, meal or coffee with the whole family in the Playmobil cafeteria .
