What Welcome Family does

Welcome Family is a Fuveau, France-based B2B supplier that designs, sources, and (in part) manufactures children's toys, games, coloring books, children's meal boxes, and professional childcare equipment for hospitality operators across Europe. The company operates as a brand under the Marketing Creation Group, sharing corporate services with sister brands Kids Création, Peluche Création, Beast'izz, and Studio, and benefits from in-house plush and design capabilities via those siblings.

The product portfolio is organized as a multi-category catalog spanning eco-responsible games (paper-based, plastic-free), themed coloring books, branded children's meal boxes and kraft pouches, a full childcare equipment range (stackable wooden high chairs, professional changing tables priced €45–€488, baby cots, strollers), balloons and accessories, plush toys, seasonal event collections (Halloween, Christmas, Summer, Back to School, Easter, Sports Events), complete Kids Corner installations, and bespoke custom manufacturing including giant mascots and logo-integrated games. Products are sold either as standard catalog SKUs or as fully customized, brand-reflective solutions, with marketing collateral emphasizing eco-responsible credentials (phthalate-free coated fabric, M2 fire-retardant standard) and Made in France manufacturing.

The business model is a professional-only B2B direct and e-commerce operation. The storefront supports six languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German) and ships across Europe with free delivery above €500 ex VAT. Go-to-market combines a dedicated field-sales function for custom projects with an e-commerce self-service channel; named enterprise customers span fast food (McDonald's, Burger King, Quick, Buffalo Grill, Courtepaille, Carl's Jr, Burger's), hotel groups (Accor, Club Med, B&B Hotels, Louvre Hotel Group, Ushuaïa Villages, Appart'city), themed and family restaurants (Old Wild West, Indiana Café, Vapiano, Del Arte, 3 Brasseurs, Léon, La Mie Câline), campsites and leisure (Camping Paradis, Gulli Parc), catering (Areas Restauration, Daunat), and transport and bakery segments.
