Santa Claus - from Malta to the world

Dec. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Since 1976, all PLAYMOBIL figures have been manufactured at the company’s Ħal Far production site. To date, some 2.4 billion of these popular 7.5 cm tall figures have found their way to kids all over the world. Put next to each other, these figures would embrace our planet three times. Each PLAYMOBIL figure consists of at least seven single parts which are then assembled by so-called ‘figure machines’, which put each figure together in 1.8 seconds

PLAYMOBIL’s Santa Claus figure also starts its global journey from Malta. Every year, 100 million figures featuring Santa are produced here. Amazingly, however, because of his coat and long white beard, Santa Claus figures are put together manually, each taking about 18 seconds to assemble, after which he is ready to go…

Meanwhile, as part of its programme of activities for Christmas, PLAYMOBIL Malta will be inviting children to its FunPark in Ħal Far to assemble their own Santa Claus figure, which they can take home with them, against a nominal charge. All proceeds from this initiative will be donated to Puttinu Cares.
