Carnival Toys was founded in 1970 by Pietro Minghetti and is now led by his son, Diego. Today, Carnival Toys is a solid Italian company that designs, produces and sells Carnival costumes, masks, wigs and accessories.
The company came to be in 1970 in a small warehouse in Godo, a small town in the province of Ravenna. There, Mr Minghetti started a production of Carnival masks using wooden moulds, decorating them with an airbrush and giving the finishing touches inside a painting booth. In the mid Seventies, Mr Minghetti moved to serigraphy and the company acquired new technologies. Thanks to them, the production process became much quicker. The product selection was then expanded to include wigs.In 1980, Mr Minghetti’s original creations were presented during a trade fair in Milan and they won over the workers of the sector. Such an incredible success determined the growth of the company. From that moment on, Carnival Toys has been characterised by growth and innovation.
In 1992, the company moved to its present headquarters, still situated in the town of Godo, but equipped with much bigger
workshops, offices and exhibition spaces.
Today, Carnival Toys has 35 employees and it produces and sells costumes and accessories inside a 10,000 square metre plant. The company is proud of its completely Italian production but it keeps looking for innovative products from all over the world.The company catalogue is comprised of more than 6,000 items with a yearly addition of 500 new products for specialised shops, large-scale organised distribution and foreign sales all over Europe and in many other countries in the world. The company has a global sales network with representatives that monitor both Italian and foreign markets offering a complete and non-seasonal range of products.
Carnival Toys has its headquarters based in Godo di Russi (RA) Italy, and they are a reference point that offer their visitors a wide showroom and the chance to meet the creative department employees. The company also merchandises its products online using a B2B reserved website and it also guarantees a logistical service for the delivery of the merchandise and the management of purchase orders. Speed and precision are two key aspects of the company’s management.
