About ANICO – Creating Smiles, One Plush Toy at a Time
Welcome to the World of ANICO
Anico International was founded in 1992 in Springfield, New Jersey, with one simple but sincere idea – to create toys that bring joy, comfort and warmth.
With its own design and manufacturing facilities, as well as constant quality control, Anico creates products that are not only attractive in appearance, but also reliable, durable and environmentally friendly.
Today, Anico is a brand trusted by families, child care centers, distributors and stores. This is a name that has become synonymous with softness, comfort and care. From the teddy bear that a child takes with him to kindergarten to the blanket that is given for the birth of a baby, each Anico product carries the warmth of human hands and history.
Why are our products the best?
Anico International’s products stand out from the competition thanks to a combination of key factors that are rarely found in one company:

Quality of materials
Our toys are not only incredibly soft, but also safe even for the most sensitive kids.

Durability
Anico products are designed for years of use. Soft seams, reinforced parts and durable fabrics undergo strict wear resistance tests.

Unique design
We create toys that become favorites at first sight and are able to convey the emotions, character and charm of each character.

Wide range
From classic teddy bears to themed seasonal toys, from travel accessories to cozy textiles – we have a gift for any occasion.

Emotional value
Anico toys are not just products. They are real childhood companions that give warmth, joy and a sense of security.
These features make our products the number one choice for families looking to add warmth and comfort
Our mission is not just to create toys, but to give joy and care
At Anico International, we believe that a toy is more than just an object. It is a companion in childhood, comfort in anxious moments, joy on holidays and a memory for a lifetime. Our main goal is to create products that will become part of happy memories.
We strive to ensure that every toy, every blanket or accessory that comes out under the Anico brand brings joy and comfort. For us, this means paying attention to quality, safety, design and even the emotions that come with the first contact with the product. We want a person who picks up an Anico toy to feel that they were cared for.
We do not differentiate between customers by age – our products should bring joy to both children and adults. This means that our mission is not only to create, but also to connect people through warmth and kindness.
