About

Arwico

Arwico is a Swiss-based powerhouse that operates as both a major distributor and a specialized brand holder, primarily through its ACE (Arwico Collectors Edition) label. Based in Switzerland, the company acts as a vital bridge between international production and the highly specific Swiss market, often commissioning "exclusive editions" of Swiss prototypes that larger firms might otherwise overlook. By collaborating with manufacturers like Piko, Liliput, and Hobbytrain, Arwico ensures that the unique liveries, technical variants, and narrow-gauge wonders of the Swiss Alps are brought to life with high-fidelity "Swiss Edition" standards.

Beyond railways, the brand is arguably the world leader in Swiss military and industrial modeling, offering an extensive catalog of high-detail vehicles, trucks, and aircraft in H0 (1:87) and 1:43 scales. In the train sector, they are recognized for their "Modell Depot" initiatives, which curate high-end Swiss electric traction and specialized passenger sets for the SBB and private regional operators. Today, Arwico is defined by its ability to combine large-scale distribution power with an artisanal dedication to regional authenticity, making it the definitive brand for collectors of the "Swiss Miniature World."
