Over 150 Years of Craftsmanship

sigikid is a family company whose roots go way back – in fact, more than 150 years back! sigikid’s German parent company “H. Scharrer & Koch GmbH” was founded in 1856 in Bayreuth/ Bavaria, initially manufacturing glass beads for export. In 1910, Theo Köhler, the great-grandfather of sigikid’s current owner, took over, and slowly introduced toys made out of glass beads to the product line.

When the next generation took over in 1968, the trademark sigikid was born. The name is a combination of the founder’s first name “Sigi” (short for Sigrid) and “kid” – Axel, the first child born into the Gottstein family. True to a traditional family business, Axel runs now the business in Germany, while his sister Eva handles business development in the Americas.

sigikid toys are:

  • Affordable without sacrificing quality
  • Prestigious without being exclusive
  • Classic without being conservative
  • Innovative without being flashy
  • Durable without being hard-to-clean
  • Creative without being over the top
  • Soothing without being boring

The recipient of numerous design awards in Europe, sigikid manufactures classic toys based on traditional, high-quality Bavarian craftsmanship. sigikid’s products offer variety and are divided into three segments, representing anything “cuddly” for babies, kids and gifts for adults who have an inner child.
