Mario Besana, who had already founded the companies Mebetoys and Martoys before, started to produce model cars under the name of Bburago in Burago di Molgora near Milan in 1976. The first models were made in 1/24th scale. Formula 1 racing cars in 1/14th scale, classic sports cars in 1/18th scale, Fiat trucks and inexpensive toy cars in 1/43rd scale, and finally chromed models in 1/87th scale, which could be used as keychains, were later added to the range. Models in 1/18th, 1/24th and 1/43rd scale were also available as assembly kits, in different versions than the ready-made models. Especially the inexpensive and well detailed 1/18th scale models made Bburago famous and caused the great popularity of this scale among collectors. However, the company lost its predominating position in the market of 1/18th scale models in the 1990s and had to announce its insolvency in summer 2005. Soon afterwards it was taken over by its competitor Maisto. Now in China, a wide range of diecast models in various scales, mostly of European prototypes, continues to be produced under the Bburago name. Since 2015, Bburago has held an exclusive licence to manufacture diecast models of current Ferrari cars.
