Spin Master Corp.

Who owns PAW Patrol?
PAW Patrol is owned by Spin Master Corp. The series is produced by Spin Master Entertainment and first aired on Nickelodeon in 2013.

Is Spin Master publicly traded?
Yes. Spin Master trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under ticker TOY. Founders Anton Rabie, Ronnen Harary, and Ben Varadi retain significant voting control through a dual-class share structure.

Rabie, Harary, and Varadi founded Spin Master in 1994 after meeting at the University of Western Ontario. Their first product was the Earth Buddy, a novelty growing toy, sold to retailers from the trunk of a car. Early hits included the Devil Sticks juggling toy and Air Hogs, a line of miniature radio-controlled aircraft powered by compressed air, launched in 1998 and a major global success.

Spin Master went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2015. Following its IPO, the company made a series of significant acquisitions including Etch A Sketch and Tinkertoy from Ohio Art Company (2016), Gund stuffed animals (2018), and Cardinal Industries board games. The PAW Patrol franchise, which Spin Master developed internally rather than through acquisition, became the company's dominant revenue and profit driver through the late 2010s and into the 2020s.
