About Galt Toys

History
James Galt & Co. Ltd. has been established for over 180 years. James Galt himself was born at Stewarton in Ayrshire and set up as an educational stockist in Manchester in 1836.

In the 1850s the company expanded into printing and publishing and in 1957 the company moved from Manchester to Cheadle in Cheshire. In 1961 the Galt Toys division was formed.

Products
Galt produces and sells quality toys which meet the needs of all stages of child development from 0-10 years.

Galt products are designed to be fun and to encourage learning through play. Traditionally the company is associated with art, craft and activity products. In more recent years Galt has established a name for itself in the First Years category with the innovative Playnest.

Quality
All of our products comply with or exceed current toy safety regulations (primarily BS EN71 and HD271/BS EN50088) and all carry the CE mark and the BS5665 Lion Mark. Rigorous quality control is applied at all stages of development, production and distribution.
