Beijing, China -- (SBWire) -- 09/09/2011 --According to a recent government approval document by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China, China Toy Association (CTA) has been renamed China Toy & Juvenile Products Association, effective June 24th 2011.

During the past 25 years, China Toy Association has been playing a very important role in leading and promoting the sound development of toy related industry. Under its work, China’s toy industry has seen a rapid growth in both toy enterprises and toy products. The former name was falling behind industry’s development. Considering the suggestions from member and non-member enterprises while it was also discussed and approved at the association meetings, China Toy Association decided to rename as China Toy & Juvenile Products Association. The Ministry of Civil Affairs of China examined and approved the application officially.

Established in 1986, China Toy Association (CTA) is the sole national organization of toy industry in China and the sole legal representative in International Council of Toy Industries (ICTI) appointed by Chinese government. It is recognized as the authoritative voice of China toy industry by the government, the trade, the media and consumers. Apart from toy industry, China Toy & Juvenile Products Association also extended its service and management to baby articles after it was renamed, so as to enhance the healthy development of industry for baby articles, such as baby carriers etc. The association’s registered members are composed by producers and distributors of toys, hobbies, kids entertainment products, games and baby articles.

It also organizes international toy fair in Shanghai and organizes China pavilion at international toy fairs in overseas countries and regions.

2011 China Toy Expo will be held in October 12-14 in Shanghai. As the organizer of the toy fair, China Toy & Juvenile Products Association has made the international toy fair the largest of its kind in mainland China, even larger than the Toy Section at Canton Fair.
