We are goki – High-quality wooden toys for 45 years<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1770801418355{padding-top: 30px !important;}”]\n

For 45 years, goki has stood for high-quality wooden toys that inspire children and make the world a little more colorful.<\/p>\n

In 1981, Gerhard Gollnest and Fritz-R\u00fcdiger Kiesel founded the company, which is now the largest toy company in Northern Germany. A team of over 250 dedicated people worldwide works every day to make childhood an adventure<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

With more than 1,500 different products, goki is one of the most diverse suppliers in the toy industry. The heart of our range consists of our strong brands: goki with the product lines goki evolution, goki66 and goki baby, as well as the handcrafted wooden figures from HOLZTIGER. <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” local_scroll_id=”nachhaltigkeit”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1760472995291{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1763976536016{border-radius: 10px !important;}” wpex_bg_color=”#e73e07″]\n

Sustainability – We give back more than we take.<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1771242711412{padding-top: 30px !important;}”]\n

What began over 20 years ago is now an integral part of our culture: at the end of each year, we plant trees. And not just a few \u2013 but more than we take from the forest to manufacture our wooden toys. This creates a cycle that not only makes toys possible, but also allows the future to grow. But we think further. With our photovoltaic systems, we now generate more electricity than we consume at our locations each year. Responsibility has thus become a surplus of energy \u2013 a plus for children, nature, and future generations. <\/p>\n

Because our position is clear: Those who work with wood bear responsibility for the forest. Those who produce for children bear responsibility for the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We act according to this principle \u2013 and have done so for many years. Every year, we give Schleswig-Holstein, the state with the least forest cover, a new forest: “For every newborn child, we plant a tree.” \u2013 Since 2004, over 460,000 beech, oak, and maple trees have already been planted. Our forest\/tree planting initiatives help to reforest Germany’s forests* and make them more climate-stable. Vulnerable monocultures are transformed into mixed forests so they can withstand the demands of climate change. <\/p>\n

*including in cooperation with M\u00fcller Handels GmbH & Co. KG<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1761136467033{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1762268880650{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]We plant the future. For children. For forests. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Wood is our most important raw material \u2013 and nature is our greatest responsibility. At goki, we manufacture wooden toys for children. That is why we actively advocate for healthy forests that will continue to provide habitat, raw materials, and space for adventure tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Many spruce forests can no longer cope with the consequences of climate change. Drought, storms, and pests have destroyed large areas. What remains are bare soils without protection or diversity. This is precisely where our tree planting initiatives in Schleswig-Holstein come in. <\/p>\n

Together with regional partners, we transform vulnerable monocultures into stable mixed forests. We plant site-appropriate tree species such as Norway maple, sweet chestnut, silver fir, yew, service tree, and wild cherry. This diversity strengthens the forest, protects the soil, and promotes biodiversity. <\/p>\n

For us, this is more than sustainability. It is a promise to the next generation. Because everything we do, we do for children \u2013 and for a world in which they can grow up carefree.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We think toys further:<\/p>\n
