Their precise attention to detail, high quality materials,and commitment to historical accuracy have made them a respected household name among enthusiasts and collectors around the world.

Roco was born out of an enterprise founded in 196 in Salzburg, Austria by Ing. Heinz Rössler. Originally, the company focused on making plastic bodied glasses. It took a spin in direction, when in 1967 they established a new branch for toy production. Railways and wagons in HO scale were added to their production line, turning Roco into a pioneer of the "second industrial revolution" in model railroading. The year 1976 saw a major expansion for Roco when it decided to penetrate the US market and they subsequently released a series of models specifically designed for the American enthusiasts. Another major milestone in history was in 2005, when the company introduced a digital model railway control system.
