Model: Gauge HO. PostNord is a Swedish-Danish logistics company. It was created in 2009 through the merger of the Swedish Posten with the Danish Post Danmark to form Posten Norden, which became PostNord in 2011. The company's headquarters are in Solna, Stockholm County, Sweden. The German branch in Travemünde serves as the gateway to mainland Europe. This Swedish train appears in the Scandinavian company's current CI in simple blue with white lettering in a one-off edition. Finished model made of plastic, painted and printed.
Wilhelm Hergenröther founded the company in Nuremberg in 1949. The company name is composed of the name Hergenröther Patent. Initially, the company produced model railway accessories. In 1961, Riwa-Plastik, a plastic parts manufacturer for the photo and phono industry, was founded.
In 1965, Herpa was taken over by this company. Both brand names continue to be used. The first 1/87th scale car model was presented at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Two years later, the first truck model in the same scale followed. Over the years, the magazine "MASS:STAB" is published. Since then, six copies have been published annually.
