Stokke has experienced considerable international growth through our strategic approach of acquiring products and brands. These acquisitions include the Nomi chair, LIMAS, a baby carrier company, Mukako, a multi-activity play table brand, and BABYZEN, the makers of the highly popular YOYO all-in-one lightweight stroller. Acquisitions is key for our growth and has allowed us to have office presence in Norway, Germany, The Netherlands, France, the US, and Asia, meaning we truly offer an international work environment and can stand by our brand promise Confident Kids for a better World.
