From a Lyon Workshop
to Global Classrooms.

Founded in 1948 by a master craftsman in Lyon, the company started with a simple mission: to build wooden toys that would help children rebuild their imaginations after the war. For decades, our tools were hand chisels and manual lathes. In 2003, as the company began expanding internationally, it rebranded to Ateliertoy — adding “toy” to honour the playful spirit at the heart of its mission.

Today, Ateliertoy employs 250 people across two facilities, blending traditional French woodworking heritage with cutting-edge software to engineer the future of play. We respect our past, but we build for the future.

Responsibility

Engineering a Sustainable Future.

We build tools for the next generation, which means taking absolute, measurable responsibility for the world they will inherit. Sustainability at Ateliertoy is not a marketing department initiative; it is an engineering requirement.

🌳

100% FSC® Certified Oak.

Every single piece of wood we mill is ethically sourced from sustainably managed, certified French forests. We plant more than we consume.

☀️

Net-Zero Ambitions.

The new Innovation Campus operates on 70% renewable energy, utilizing an advanced closed-loop thermal recovery system powered by our data centers and CNC friction heat.

♻️

Zero-Landfill Policy.

Our hardware packaging is entirely biodegradable, avoiding single-use plastics. All electronic PCBA components comply strictly with global RoHS and WEEE directives for safe recycling.
