Corporate Philosophy
– How and Why we started Platz –
We love model kits.
Our motivation comes solely from our passion for the model kits.
In the hobby business, bringing that passion into a tangible product is a complex puzzle. It requires choosing the right subjects, pursuing absolute precision, selecting the best materials, and keeping prices affordable for the end
user.
Furthermore, every modeler has a unique style and preference.
Because of this, our mission has always been to bring mutually satisfying results to brands and hobbyists alike.
We truly believe this core policy is the ultimate fuel for creating products that modelers genuinely desire.
We wanted to build a gathering place where we could team up to create the things we love. In fact, our company name, “PLATZ,” means “public square” in German. That is exactly what Platz is meant to be.
Our management and staff bring more than a decade of experience to the hobby industry. Now, we are ready to use those assets to approach modeling with fresh ideas, cutting-edge technology, and innovative materials for our global community.
Our goal is to keep pushing boundaries, creating the dream products people have always wanted but never seen before—built with absolute dedication and a whole lot of fun.
We are the bridge between global model brands and Japanese modelers.
That is us.
That is WE PLATZ.
Our origin
The corrugated iron shack – our office at the time of founding in the year of 2000. This is where Platz all started.
