Early in 2013, Hape opened a Romanian office in Avrig. Hape's factory in Romania, covering 10,000 square meters, mainly produces plush and wooden toys, providing local residents with a range of employment opportunities. In addition, Hape launched two educational projects, carpentry and sewing, in local vocational schools for the re-education and re-training of young people aged between 16 and 19 years old. Those achieving outstanding practical performances will subsequently have the chance to visit Hape factories overseas for one year of training, and will be an employment priority upon graduation.
