Hot models and hot weather!

Dear Herpa-Fan,

for many truckers and model fans, it is the most important date of the year: Herpa's Open Day. It’s when the model manufacturer shows how elaborately the miniature vehicles are produced in order to depict (almost) every last detail. Herpa seems to have a good relationship with the weather gods. Even in its 75th year, there was plenty of sunshine - almost a bit too much.

The exhibition with all the original trucks, most of which are available in the 1:87 scale, is always a highlight of the day. This year, more than 40 additional trucks made their way to Dietenhofen. These vehicles were much admired and photographed, and of course a technical discussion with the driver was a must. Many made the most of the opportunity for contact with the driving scene on the day.

During the production tour, the more than 6,000 visitors discovered how very elaborately a truck is rendered as a model. A model consists of up to 40 parts, which are injection-molded in Dietenhofen. Many visitors were already familiar with the new energy-efficient machines from last year, but not with the new color mixers for injection molding, or the new pad printing machine, which can print several sides of a truck model in a single work step.

During the various talks on stage, interested visitors heard many background stories to do with Herpa. The exhibitors and partners make the open day an unforgettable day. The employees' cake sale once again generated a substantial donation, this year for the Bavarian Red Cross. Managing Director Hermann Prinz zu Leiningen thanked employees who volunteered to work the long extra shift on a Saturday. "Without your great commitment, the day would not have been possible for our collectors. 2024 has been another highly successful Open Day."

Sincerely,
Your Herpa team
