Spin Master Makes News Again

spinmaster_logo_lg.gif - 10668 BytesSpin Master Toys is honored to announce being named one of Canada�s 50 Best Privately Managed Companies. The prestigious competition sponsored by Arthur Andersen, CIBC and the National Post is a tribute to those companies that excel in a number of key categories such as managing employee relations, attracting customers and managing company assets.

The induction process was an extremely challenging, yet rewarding process for the Toronto-based toy maker. The first step in the procedure was an extensive questionnaire filled out by over 2500 applicants, which was narrowed down to a core of hopeful regional finalists. "Winning this award is a reflection of the entire Spin Master team and we are extremely proud to be included with such elite companies," explained Anton Rabie, President of the toy manufacturer. "Our goal at Spin Master is to create the most magical toys in the world. We believe that product is king and our passion is product selection and marketing strategy."

The dynamic Toy Company literally grew its way to the top by releasing Earth Buddies in 1994 and marketing and promoting the highly enjoyable �Spin Master Devil Sticks� in 1995. Spin Master is best known as the creators of the extremely innovative Air Hogs line of products. With the release of their 1998 Sky Shark, the company caught the attention of Popular Science and Time Magazine for the technological advancements in air-pressure. As the company grew in stature, they tested the industry by launching Flick Trix finger bikes, which not only introduced a craze among its enthusiasts but also a category for Extreme Sports products. "Our next mission is to go above and beyond what any other Canadian company has done," stated Rabie. "We seek to become one of the biggest and most successful toy companies in the world and continue to explore any opportunity that will assist us in achieving our goal."

Spin Master has dedicated itself to hiring extremely energetic and talented people. The accomplishment of being named as one of Canada�s 50 Best Privately Managed Companies is not only a distinction for Spin Master but also a landmark moment in the history of the organization.

Spin Master develops, manufactures, markets and distributes its own toy products around the world. The company is the category leader in air pressure and extreme sports action figures and vehicles. Diligent product development and powerhouse marketing strategies have created a worldwide reputation for great products. Highly recognized for its creative vision, Spin Master is one of the fastest growing toy companies in the world. The company has several well-known lines including, AIR HOGS™, METALL MAXX™, E-CHARGERS™, FLICK TRIX™, GROW THINGS™, and TOTALLY FASHION™.
