Hape is happy to announce that Quadrilla will be coming back to the Hape family. Hape has acquired the Quadrilla brand and the patents for the design. We are very excited to continue working with Wilfried Braun, inventor of Quadrilla, and look forward to the next generation of toys. We are especially happy that Wilfried will continue to participate in the development of new items. Peter Handstein, President and Founder of Hape, says, “Quadrilla is perfect for our brand. Wilfried’s philosophy of “Intelligent play with Wood” is something we at Hape strongly believe in as well. Quadrilla has experienced great success with children around the world and Hape hopes to continue this success with great new designs.” Quadrilla’s revolutionary approach to marble run design has truly set the industry standard for design innovation. We’re happy to be part of the next chapter of the Quadrilla story. Hape will begin shipping 4 items by the end of July 2012: the Quadrialla Basic Set, Twist Set, Rail Set, and the Twist & Rail Set.
