Prototype: Constantly increasing performance requirements prompted the Austrian locomotive industry to develop a completely new high-performance electric traction vehicle in thyristor technology in the early 1970s. The SGP, responsible for the mechanical part, and the companies BBC (now ABB), Elin and Siemens for the electrical equipment, handed over two prototype machines (1044.01 in December 1974 and 1044.02 in February 1975) on their own account in the mid-1970s Testing at the ÖBB. These universally usable limit power locomotives with an output of 5,280 kW and a maximum permissible speed of 160 km/h were essentially convincing during their testing on the southern and western railways between Vienna and Salzburg. In April 1976, the first series order was placed.

Founded in 1960 as a manufacturer of plastic products (sand buckets, miniature military vehicles), the company is now one of the world's leading providers of model railways as an innovation leader. The first locomotives were produced in 1976. The models were characterized by precision and authenticity right from the start and established the company's reputation for quality early on.
In addition, Roco has always thought further about model railways and stimulated the industry with innovations. Over the decades, the wagons that are not shortened in length, the more prototypical tracks with less high rail profiles or the "snag-free" close couplings should be mentioned. A milestone for the future is the cutting-edge Z21 control system, which for the first time combines the virtual and real game worlds and thus raises the play value of model railways to a completely new level.
Company headquarters are in Bergheim/Salzburg. Roco has a global presence and, via Modelleisenbahn München GmbH, is a company of Modelleisenbahn Holding GmbH, which also includes the German quality manufacturer Fleischmann.
Roco relies on valuable and manual work. This is the only way to create the detailed, highly reliable and functional miniatures. Comprehensive quality management with internal and external quality assurance measures ensures that Roco locomotive and wagon owners receive the best quality and can enjoy their models for a long time. Here, too, Roco is a pioneer. The Roco factory in Arad was the first factory in the model railway industry to be certified according to ISO 9001 by the German DQS GmbH.
