Panda Brazil will offer clients a reliable path to navigate current U.S. tariff challenges while maintaining the high production standards for which Panda is known. With Brazil’s import tariffs among the lowest of any major U.S. trade partner, this new facility will enable game publishers to diversify their production strategy and establish a stronger presence in the growing South American board game market.
”The team at Kawagraf has always been excited by new opportunities and innovations in manufacturing. We are especially honoured to partner with Panda on this new joint venture. What sets Panda apart is that they’re not just manufacturers — they are genuine gamers who actually play and understand the nuances of the games they are working on. We are looking forward to creating beautiful games with Panda and to also unlock new opportunities in South America together.”
