The Playmobil FunPark, located outside the plant's premises in the Hal Far Industrial Estate, will be reopening its doors following a €350,000 investment by German toys manufacturing company Playmobil.

The FunPark was inaugurated on 21 June in the presence of the President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, Gudrun Sräga, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Malta, as well as Matthias Fauser, CEO at Playmobil Malta.

"Over the years, we are pleased to have been a part of thousands of children's lives, taking an active role in their fantasies and adventures. And it is with this in mind that we decided to undergo extensive refurbishment to our FunPark outdoor area - to offer our little fans an immersive experience into the world of Playmobil," noted Mr Fauser.

Playmobil Malta Ltd is German-owned and has been engaged in the production of plastic toys in Malta since 1971. Today, the company directly employs over 1,000 workers.

"Playmobil Malta, one of the largest and longest-standing German investors in Malta, is proving with this FunPark that creativity and play are not only important elements at the design stage of the product inside the factory but also outdoors! My sincere congratulations and thanks for giving children this great opportunity for active and educational entertainment!" commented Ambassador Sräga.

Thanking all who were involved in the project, as well as the media and distinguished guests who attended the official opening, Mr Fauser concluded his speech by noting the importance of spending quality time with the family and encouraged the public to visit the park.

President Coleiro Preca said that: "The FunPark's refurbishment is further evidence of the confidence shown by this German-owned company in the Maltese economy and an investment in the people of our islands".

The Playmobil FunPark outdoor area is open daily between 10am and 6pm. For further information visit www.playmobilmalta.com or their Facebook page.
