« We must not be afraid to dare »
Daniel Lévy is a former pharmacist. In 1992, along with his father, he launched Buki France. They began distributing Israeli products for children, such as animal activity books, on the French market. Among other stores, the company worked with Nature et Découvertes and Eveil et Jeux.
The company distributed its first solar energy themed kit, which attracted consumers and several store chains.
Following the craze for scientific toys, the company expanded its range by offering electricity themed kits. It also introduced new product ranges, such as marbles mazes into France, Belgium and Switzerland.
After a few years, the company started to develop its own scientific kits including a giant wind turbine, and both water and electric vehicles.
To reinforce its brand identity, Buki France created a new logo and a character named Leo, who guides children through the kits. A few years later, Léa was also introduced.
These emblematic characters are easily recognized and identified, representing strong values to complete the corporate identity and style guide of Buki France.
This year was marked by the opening of an office in Paris, and the hiring of Product Managers dedicated to the development of new toys. In order to meet the needs of customers, and to face its competitors, Buki France took a strategic turn by reinforcing the development of its own product lines.
The company accelerated its development by exporting its creations to a wide European market. The packs and instructions are translated into 6 languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Dutch.
The “Disgusting Lab” kit benefited from a TV campaign, in collaboration with the “Toys R Us” toy chain, further growing the success of the brand.
The character Léa was introduced following other ranges.
At the request of its main employees, who come from the Sarthe region, Buki France moved its offices to Le Mans, maintaining the high standard of family values the company has observed since its inception. Today, the company has 15 employees.
Buki France launched a new range of arts and crafts kits, “Be Teens”, to complete its product offer. At the same time, a growth in exports enabled Buki France to strengthen its development with partners in countries outside Europe. Today, the company exports in more than 45 countries worldwide.
The teams at Buki France now develop more than 20 products every year and the company continues to flourish by conquering the entire world.
