Hobbico Inc., based in Champaign, Ill., announced today that it has acquired Revell Germany. Revell Germany was spun off as a separate company in 2006, and Hobbico has owned the U.S. Revell operation since 2007. "We are pleased to reunite the Revell brand under one ownership," Hobbico President Wayne Hemming said. "Now Revell can proceed with a worldwide strategy for growth of the core plastic-model business. "We also view this as an excellent foundation to expand the distribution of our other brands and products into the European market." After starting the original U.S. company in 1945, Revell founder Lou Glaser established the German operation in 1956. Since then, Revell Germany has been a popular brand in Europe for plastic model kits, paints, tools and accessories. For the last four years, the company has also been a player in the European radio-control vehicle market. "Hobbico's acquisition of Revell Germany creates an enormous opportunity for our company and our employees," Revell Germany President Hans Remfert said. "With the support of Hobbico as a strong parent company, we have a great opportunity to expand our entry into the R/C hobby segment of the European market."
Hobbico is also the U.S. importer for Japan-based Hasegawa.
