History

Tamiya – the worldwide network

Founded in 1946, Tamiya Inc. Japan is headquartered in Shizuoka and boasts a worldwide network with 4 subsidiaries and more than 60 agents covering a wide range of regions, including the USA, Hong Kong and Germany.

Production

Tamiya Philippines Incorporated – production facilities

Just over 30 years ago, Tamiya arrived in the Philippines, where it laid the foundation stone for a state of-the-art production facility that sets new standards in model making. Covering an area of 4 hectares, this facility is used to manufacture Tamiya’s models. The factory employs highly qualified staff in the fields of product development, 3D model design, mould construction, production and quality control. The factory also has its own printing facility that produces all Tamiya packaging, assembly instructions and other printed materials. By running its own comprehensive production facilities, Tamiya can ensure that its products are manufactured to the highest quality standards.
