K-Puzzle

In the years 1929-30, during the economic recession, Mr. P.Th. Klaus, trader in luxury cardboard packaging, lost his business. In 1932, his son Frans (1915-2000) came up with the idea of selling puzzles under the brand name K-puzzle.

Many different puzzles were marketed under this brand name until around 1955. In 1955 the name is changed to Kolibri puzzles. Those puzzles are also made of wood.

In the 1970s, the market for wooden jigsaw puzzles collapsed and, partly due to the introduction of the minimum youth wage and the rise of the cardboard puzzle, the production process became too expensive.

In 1972 Klaus Toy Industrie BV closed its doors for good.

In de jaren 1929-30, tijdens de economische recessie, raakt de heer P.Th. Klaus, handelaar in luxe kartonnen verpakkingen, zijn bedrijf kwijt. Zijn zoon Frans (1915-2000) komt in 1932 op het idee om puzzels te gaan verkopen onder de merknaam K-puzzle.

Onder deze merknaam worden tot circa 1955 veel verschillende puzzels op de markt gebracht. In 1955 verandert men de naam in Kolibri-puzzels. Ook die puzzels worden gemaakt van hout.

In de jaren rond 1970 zakt de markt voor houten legpuzzels in en, mede door de invoering van het minimum jeugdloon en de opkomst van de kartonnen puzzel, wordt het productieproces te kostbaar.

In 1972 sluit Klaus Speelgoed Industrie B.V. definitief de deuren.
