Sydney, Australia – 2014, may 9th

Crown & Andrews (Australian manufacturer and distributor of toys, games and puzzles) and Goliath Games (international manufacturer and distributor of toys and games) are pleased to announce that Goliath Games has made a strategic investment in Crown & Andrews. Goliath is in a period of substantial growth with offices in Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, USA, Canada and Hong Kong. Goliath, as one of the top marketing toy companies in Europe, is becoming a real force in the USA as well with eight TV promoted items items this year.

Gerry Crown will be staying on as CEO and Audrey New will continue as Sales and Marketing director. The business will continue to operate from the existing premises.
Gerry told us "We are very pleased. Adi Golad, Goliath's CEO, has been a long time friend. Goliath will bring a fresh and aggressive approach to our company”. Adi added: “I’ve always admired Crown & Andrews, we share many of the same products such as Rummikub, Rubik’s Cube and Wordsearch. We are confident this new partnership will ensure the continuity and growth of one of Australia's most prestigious and best known toy and game companies. It will also give Goliath the opportunity to expand into new products where Crown & Andrews are particularly strong, for instance high-quality jigsaw puzzles”.

Next to Gerry Crown, who will continue in his current CEO position, as of June 2014 we will be looking for an ambitious general manager to continue the business’ growth in Australia.
