Panama-based distributor Duty Free Dynamics (DFD) has added Zuru Toys to its portfolio, welcoming several brands including Mini Toys, Mini Fashion, Pets Alive, Robo Alive and Rainbocorns.
Zuru Toys, which was founded in New Zealand and is now headquartered in Hong Kong, designs, manufactures and markets innovative toys.
Its portfolio also includes Bunch O Balloons, X-Shot, Smashers, 5 Surprise and Metal Machines, among others, and Zuru has partnered with Nickelodeon, Disney, Universal Studios and DreamWorks.
With a strong commitment to the community, Zuru supports Captivating International, a Hong Kong-registered charity established in 2008. The foundation aims to bring hope of a better future to orphaned, abandoned and impoverished children in various parts of China, Nepal and the Philippines.
Zuru also offers support to orphanages in China and student development programmes in Asia and in New Zealand.
As reported, DFD recently revealed a two-year Master Plan, which not only targets global expansion but also, it claimed, creates a new ‘DNA’ for the company.
DFD was set up in 2015 to offer regional distribution services throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and, later, North America. Its business model in travel retail focused on non-core product categories such as lifestyle and fashion accessories and including watches, handbags, small leather goods, sunglasses, writing instruments, footwear, apparel, outdoor, toys, electronics and vitamins.
Under its latest strategy, DFD will continue to develop and expand its brand line-up while targeting core categories including fragrance & cosmetics.
