Maisto continues to grow by keeping on top of the latest trends in die-cast, radio control, as well as electronics. The product development staffs in Hong Kong and California are constantly reviewing, re-working, and redefining their product lines to make certain they are offering our loyal followers the absolute latest in replica products.
The die-cast business was affected in 2006 by quality issues on products coming out of China, as well as rising costs on raw materials. Maisto faced the issues head on by proactively upgrading quality standards and procedures in each of it's factories.
This California-based company makes its diecast products in China and Thailand under exacting specifications and quality control. Maisto offers a number of model cars with its 1:64 die cast cars targeted at entry-level collectors. The low price, however, does not mean a compromise in the quality of the model cars. These diecast models are known as excellent values for the price and widely collected. The company also creates a line called Playerz which features model cars with custom rims, paints and other details that appeal to a more upscale diecast car collector. Maisto favors contemporary and popular makes in its model car lines
