The TONKA brand was founded on the premise that a toy should be durable and provide the child with as much play value as possible. Over a half-century and 250 million trucks later, TONKA brand vehicles are still designed and manufactured to withstand the toughest play. Today, the TONKA brand has grown from just two truck styles into a line of trucks, vehicles and toy playsets. Each year the TONKA brand uses more than 119,000 pounds of yellow paint and 5.1 million pounds of sheet metal to make its trucks and vehicles.
