About Schuco

Schuco was founded in 1912 in Nuremberg, Germany's historic toy capital, by Heinrich Müller and businessman Heinrich Schreyer, originally under the name Spielzeugfirma Schreyer & Co. The company shortened its name to Schuco in 1921. Early on it was known for clever clockwork tin toys, and its Pick-Pick bird became one of the best-known toys of the 1920s through the 1960s.

Over the decades the company moved into scale reproductions of cars and trucks in tin, plastic and die-cast metal. After going bankrupt in 1976, it was reorganized in 1993 and acquired by the Simba Dickie Group in 1999.
