“The story of Nikko starts in February 1958 when a small Japanese factory is founded. Besides radio-controlled products, it specialises in the fabrication of metal-moulds as well. By 1966 radio-control becomes the main line of business, and in the years that follow Nikko rapidly expands outside of Japan by starting factories in Malaysia and Hong Kong and the establishment of Nikko branches around the world to take care of the growing number of overseas customers.” From: Nikko Radio Control
