Model: HO gauge. De Martini e.K. is located in the Franconian Lauf on the Pegnitz, directly on the A9 and B14, and not far from the Nuremberg motorway junction, where the A3 and A9 cross. The company has been providing towing, recovery and transport services for over 20 years. This Scania Wrecker based on EMPL is the new showpiece in the fleet, completely painted and designed with an attractive layout. The very elaborate model appears in a limited edition.
The model is 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.
