About us

EPOCH Traumwiesen hopes to put a smile on everyones face through its versatile range of products. The local sales company based in Nuremberg was founded in 2011 and is responsible for the marketing and sales of EPOCH toys in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czechia and Slovakia. Kim Benjamin Franke is the managing director.

The parent company, EPOCH Co., Ltd., was founded by Taketora Maeda in Tokyo, Japan, in 1958 and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2018. The family-owned business represents tradition and values. In Japan, it is one of the top three toy manufacturers. Within the toy market, it has successfully positioned renowned evergreen products in more than 60 countries worldwide.

EPOCH products include Sylvanian Families, a toy series suitable for children aged 3 years and over. The cute collectible figures and worlds of play are marketed and sold by EPOCH Traumwiesen just like the beads from the popular craft toy brand Aquabeads. The colourful beads are suitable for children aged 4 years and over and stick together simply after being sprayed with water.

In 2021, EPOCH Traumwiesen added various Super Mario™ board games from EPOCH to its range. These board games are suitable for children aged 4 years and over and are popular with young and old alike. The highly detailed Super Mario™ figures are ideal for collecting and combining for use with the various board games in the product line.

EPOCH Traumwiesen offers a steadily growing range of board games, puzzles and trading cards. In addition to licensed games featuring well-known brands such as Super Mario™ board games, Kirby and Jurassic World, the portfolio also includes high-quality puzzles featuring popular anime and entertainment licenses such as Demon Slayer, Naruto Shippuden, One Piece and Stranger Things.

Since 2026, trading cards featuring Kaiju No. 8 and Solo Leveling have also been added to the range. With further licensing partnerships, including Hannover 96, EPOCH Traumwiesen is continuously expanding its commitment to the trading card segment and further developing its portfolio for fans and collectors.
