Fagus toys are more than just toys. The word Fagus actually translates to the word beech in Latin, the raw natural material with which every Fagus item is created from and put together with — no nails, screws or staples are used at all. Each piece is individually interlocked, geared, dowelled or glued to another and finished with a non-toxic transparent lacquer so that the natural wooden structure is protected but still may be enjoyed and admired.

Fagus was founded in 1969 but it was only in 1981 that the production of wooden toys began. Every car, truck and tractor has been made in the workshop by people with disabilities under the instruction and guidance of specially trained professionals. Fagus is proud to support a community with special needs and is even recognised by the Federal Institute of Labour in Germany.

Fagus has a strong commitment to making the highest quality wooden toys in the world from only the most sustainable sources and practices. Fagus produce toys that not only will be enjoyed by children for many years to come but for generations too.
