Since 2015, Cubika has become a leading brand in the Ukrainian wooden toy market, with international ambitions. The brand has been participating in the Spielwaren Messe in Nuremberg for five years and now has retail partners in 27 countries worldwide.
Sustainability and environmentally friendly production
One of Cubika’s core values is sustainability. The wood used for the toy products comes from sustainably managed forests in the Carpathian Mountains, a region far from large industrial factories, where air pollution is minimal. These forests are sustainably managed and the wood is FSC certified, which shows that it meets strict environmental standards. In addition, Cubika’s own factory is located in this region, which ensures short transport routes and a lower carbon footprint.
100% organic wood
Unlike some other manufacturers who mix their wooden toys with cheaper materials, Cubika uses only pure wood. This makes the toys not only more sustainable, but also of better quality and safer for children.
Safe water based paint
Cubika uses German, organic, water-based paint. This paint is completely safe for children and contributes to sustainability, because the use of water as a solvent saves many resources.
In short, Cubika stands for beautiful, sustainable wooden toys that are not only safe and fun, but also produced responsibly, with respect for people and the environment.
