Janod My First Tool Belt

Janod is a premier French toy company specializing in the design of traditional wooden and cardboard toys. Founded in 1970 by Louis Janod in Orgelet, France, the brand has built a global reputation for creating timeless, educational playthings that emphasize high-quality materials and contemporary design aesthetics.

While the creative design and engineering occur in the Jura department of France, the manufacturing processes are primarily localized in China to ensure cost-effectiveness while maintaining rigorous European safety standards. In 2004, the brand became part of the JURATOYS group, which expanded its reach. Janod is currently owned by the Maped Group, a major French stationery manufacturer, which acquired JURATOYS in 2022 to diversify its portfolio into the creative and educational toy market.
