About

At just 18 and 22, brothers Nick and Mat Mowbray co-founded ZURU from a tiny apartment in China armed with no external funding, just bold ambition and relentless grit. Two decades on, they have built ZURU into a global powerhouse in toys, consumer goods, and now tech-driven construction, with over 30 offices worldwide, distribution in more than 120 countries and approaching 5billion USD in annual revenue. Together, Nick and Mat have led ZURU to launch some of the world’s most successful toy brands, including Bunch O Balloons, XShot, and Mini Brands. Their relentless focus on innovation, automation, and speed-to-market has set ZURU apart in the global toy industry, transforming it into one of the largest toy companies in the world.In 2018, they expanded into consumer goods with the launch of ZURU Edge a challenger to traditional CPG giants. With brands like MONDAY Haircare, Rascals Diapers, Daise Beauty, Millie Moon and Gumi Yum Surprise, ZURU Edge puts consumers first offering premium, affordable alternatives in everyday categories. Their disruptive approach made ZURU the third-largest contributor to U.S. CPG growth in 2024, with major retailers like Walmart and Target naming the company Supplier of the Year.Never ones to stand still, Nick and Mat are now leading ZURU’s most ambitious venture yet: ZURU Tech. Combining robotics, AI, and proprietary 3D design software, ZURU Tech aims to revolutionize the way homes are designed and built. With Mat spearheading the technology and engineering and Nick driving commercial strategy and global expansion, the brothers are reimagining the future of housing making it faster, smarter, and more sustainable.Bold, visionary, and unapologetically fast-moving, Nick and Mat Mowbray continue to defy convention delivering smarter, better, and more accessible solutions for consumers across the globe.
