Mattel

Mattel is an American toy manufacturing company that is well-known for producing popular toys and brands such as Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, and American Girl. While Mattel is headquartered in the United States, it also has manufacturing operations in China.

Mattel has established manufacturing partnerships with Chinese companies and operates factories in China where a significant portion of its toys are produced. China's manufacturing capabilities, cost efficiencies, and well-developed infrastructure make it an attractive location for Mattel's manufacturing operations.

The decision to manufacture in China allows Mattel to meet the global demand for its toys while maintaining competitive pricing. China's skilled labor force and established supply chain networks enable efficient production and distribution of Mattel's products.

It's important to note that while manufacturing takes place in China, Mattel's product design, development, and marketing largely occur in the United States. The company's design teams work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure that the toys meet the desired quality and safety standards.

In addition to manufacturing, Mattel also has a significant presence in China's consumer market. The company operates retail stores, online platforms, and collaborates with local partners to reach Chinese consumers and promote its brands.
