Hong Kong was an early toy maker and innovator in diecast as well as plastic creations. Mattel outsourced Hot Wheels production to the colony and later companies like Yatming started small and then moved to larger, more sophisticated scales. Zylmex (seen as Zee Toys) was Asian competition as was MC Toy (which stood for Mae Cheong). Playart was another Hong Kong producer of diecast seconds with tooling acquired from Tomica or Yat Ming. Soon the conglomerate of Maisto was formed out of Mae Cheong and May Tat, with main production facilities in Thailand. French Majorette also built their main factory in Bangkok. Hot Wheels production shifted to Malaysia and sometimes India (before moving to Indonesia before it closed down), while Matchbox saw models made first in Macau, then Thailand and mainland China before concentrating at its production plant in Thailand (where Matchbox adored with its elephant picture being printed at each diecast base).
