Founded by Heinrich Muller and Heinrich Schreyer in Nuernberg in 1912 as Schreyer and Co. and then adopted the Schuco name as its trademark. The company’s specialty was usually cars and trucks in tin, plastic and diecast. The company went bankrupt in 1976 but was reorganized in 1993 and then totally independent again by 1996. Today Schuco Modell makes a variety of models (mainly street vehicles) in different scales.
