Set up by Haroldo Buby Malher in Argentina, Buby made diecast cars in 1:43, 1:64 and 1:50 scales. The ranges included both European and American cars, as well as models of vehicles only sold in Latin America.
In the 1960s, the company also made Solido models under licence, and produced a series of "Collectors Classics" in 1992. The company's last models were seen in the late 1990s. hobbydb.com
Buby was an Argentine die-cast model car manufacturer, officially known as Miniaturas Buby. The company was founded in 1956 by Haroldo "Buby" Mahler in Ranelagh, Argentina and became famous for producing scale model replicas of vehicles manufactured in Argentina.
Buby initially started with hand-assembled models, but by 1964, it was producing 210.000 models per year, using 2 tons of zamak per month. The company introduced the "Mini Buby" series in 1968, featuring 1:64 scale models. At its peak, Buby produced nearly 1.000 models per day.
The brand collaborated with Solido (France) and Siku (Germany) to import and assemble models in Argentina. However, due to economic crises, Buby closed its plants in the late 1970s, but was revived in 1982, producing over 400,000 models until its final closure in 1995.
