Rivarossi
Founded by Alessandro Rossi in Como at the end of 1945, Rivarossi has emerged as one of the top suppliers of railway models in the entire world. Their founder's enthusiasm for developing railway models and Mecanno products is still alive within the company, which has kept it going even after about eight decades. In the 1950s, Rivarossi made its first international debut with its participation in the Norimberga fair. They entered the American market about a decade later and took over the entire market by being an exporter of over 80% of the US production.
