Proudly Based in Madagascar, Serving the World

Festival Factory is strategically located in Madagascar, a country known for its vibrant culture and rich natural resources. Situated in the heart of the island, our factory is at the crossroads of innovation and tradition, allowing us to create high-quality apparel and costumes while supporting the local economy and community.

Madagascar offers unique advantages for manufacturing, with access to skilled labor, sustainable materials, and a growing infrastructure. Our location not only enables us to produce exceptional products but also provides us with the opportunity to engage in environmental and community initiatives that benefit both our employees and the wider region. From reforestation efforts to supporting local NGOs, we are deeply committed to giving back to the communities that surround us.

At Festival Factory, we take pride in being part of Madagascar’s growing manufacturing sector while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability, quality, and ethical business practices.

Our History

Founded in 1994, Festival has grown from a small local manufacturer to a globally recognised leader in apparel and costume production. Over the years, our commitment to excellence and innovation has helped us establish long-term relationships with clients around the world. Here are some of the key milestones in our journey:

  • 2014: We proudly made our first shipment for Christy’s, marking a significant step forward in establishing our reputation in the global market.

  • 2016: Our company was acquired by Amscan, a move that allowed us to expand our capabilities and production capacity. That same year, we also invested $3 million in factory improvements, upgrading our facilities to better serve our growing customer base.

  • 2017: Our commitment to meeting demand and quality resulted in producing 1.65 million costumes in a single year, solidifying our place as a leader in the industry.

  • 2022: By 2022, we had significantly expanded our operations, manufacturing 2.8 million costumes and an impressive 35,000 units of piñatas, while continuing to diversify our product offerings. This year also saw the introduction of a new range of products, including clothing garments, marking our expansion into new markets.

  • Recent Acquisition: In a move to further strengthen our position, we were acquired by Ad-Populum, a strategic partnership that will continue to fuel our growth and allow us to innovate even further in the years to come.
