The four subsidiaries \u2013 MGA Toys Iberia S.L.

This move demonstrates the company\u2019s commitment to growing its businesses in those markets and to its international business overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur business outside of the U.S is strong and increasingly important to MGA Entertainment. Establishing these new subsidiaries will allow us to grow our business more quickly in these important markets,\u201d said MGA Entertainment Founder &#038; CEO Isaac Larian. \u201cI look forward to working closely with the teams in each of these markets to continue to bring new, innovative, and fun MGA toys and products to consumers across the EU.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>MGA previously announced its plans to merge with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zapf-creation.com\/\">Zapf Creation AG<\/a>, Europe\u2019s leading manufacturer of nurturing dolls.
