Pocher released its first 1:8 scale model kit back in 1966 - the Fiat 130 HP F2. Since then, this exemplary brand has developed and marketed the world's most impressive car kits in 1:8 scale and most recently motorbikes in 1:4 scale. From Rolls Royce to Porsche, through Bugatti, Mercedes and Ferrari, these, with others, have been some of the iconic brands of super high-end cars Pocher has produced as stunning models during the nearly 50 years of its history.
Arnaldo Pocher was born in 1911 in Trento, Italy. He trained as a goldsmith engraver and went to work in Turin. In the years following the Second World War he became interested in railway modelling and in 1951 he formed Pocher Micromeccanica S.n.c. alongside Corrado Muratore producing train signals, platforms and points using innovative production techniques. Under a change of name, The Corrado Muratore and Arnaldo Pocher Company, they produced finely detailed freight and passenger carriages in white metal and later locomotives and power cars.
Pocher continued to produce highly prized and detailed model cars under Rivarossi from 1981 until the organisation became part of Hornby Hobbies and was relaunched in 2012.
