Where can I have 300 plastic elephants produced?

I have been producing and selling elephants that are made of concrete
for several years in Germany. They are meant to be placed as
decoration outside, in the garden, etc. .

One of these elephants costs 200 ? (about 240 USD). Because this is
very expensive, and not afordable for many people, I would like to
have them made of plastic instead of concrete.

Therefore, I am looking for companies, no matter whether in Asia,
Eastern Europe or any other part of the world, that will produce about 300
plastic elephants and send them to Germany for me, for considerably less then
240 USD.
Can you please find such companies for me?

The elephant's length: 72 cm (28.35 inches)  /  width: 42 cm (16.54
inches)  /  height: 55 cm (21.65 inches)
Requirements: The elephant has to be resitant to rain and sunlight.
People have to be able to sit on it. Moreover it has to be recyclable.

quokkaroo-ga,

There are a million places that can make it for you, but most are not
going to be willing to work with you because of your quantities.
Another thing you will need to consider is what are they going to use
to make the elephants from. Most manufacturer's work from 3-D CAD
drawings. If you don't have those you will need to find someone to
create them. Once you have the CAD drawings you can get quotes from
manufacturers. Also things like whether or not the elephants will be
hollow or filled or solid will affect the price. But with CAD files in
hand you can easliy get them made for under 50 USD and even less
depending on if it is hollow or not.

"Requirements: The elephant has to be resitant to rain and sunlight.

Most manufacturers have a wide variety of plastics them can work with
so meeting you requirements should not be an issue.

A great place to start is a company that works with low volume
production like what you need. This company ( www.quickparts.com )
would be a great place to start because they specialize in just that
and they also can create the CAD drawings for you. They will also ship
international and will help you figure out the best method of making
the elephants.
