What We
Are About

Founded in 2022, Proud Penguin was established by three experienced professionals from the toy industry, each bringing decades of expertise in sales, management, and production. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, the team is dedicated to creating environmentally friendly toys that offer a fresh approach within a traditionally plastic-heavy industry.

Both penguins and hippos stay cool in water—penguins with cozy feathers and hippos with a natural skin lotion that keeps them safe from the sun!

Who We Are

Proud Penguin was founded by Gary Wilmot, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the toy industry. As our founder and CEO, Gary brings a deep understanding of the market and a passion for creating sustainable solutions. His vision for Proud Penguin is to offer eco-friendly alternatives that not only delight but also inspire positive change in the way figurines are made and enjoyed.

Our Big Four

  • Carbon Capture

    Our figurines are made from bio-based materials derived from renewable resources, offering a lower carbon footprint and contributing to carbon sequestration during production.

  • Water Based Paints

    Our water-based paints not only provide a greener solution but also enhance the working conditions in the environments where our toys are made.

  • Green Electricity

    We support our suppliers in their green initiatives, encouraging them to continuously enhance their production to meet not only our standards but also your expectations.

  • Low Carbon Footprint

    We go beyond raw materials, carefully examining every aspect of our supply chain—from packaging to minimizing supply lines—to ensure the best possible solutions at every step.

Why Figurines?

Compared to other product categories, figurines stand the test of time and accompany their young owners through many years of play. This longevity further allows us to reduce the toys' carbon footprint.
