Roban Model

Roban Model, manufacturer of scale RC helicopters

Roban Model is a manufacturer specializing in scale RC helicopters and precision components for modeling. The company develops, produces, paints, and assembles its products directly, without relying on external suppliers, and presents itself as a manufacturer rather than a commercial intermediary. Its activity is aimed at demanding hobbyists, collectors, and professional partners worldwide.

The company was founded in 2009 by Mike Binder, a German engineer, with the goal of creating scale RC helicopters that would not require special skills beyond knowing how to fly. Production was established in China to maintain direct ownership of the factory and full control over development and manufacturing. The company states personal and cultural ties to the country, as half of the founder's family is Chinese, which facilitates integration with the workforce and the local business environment.

Production structure and capabilities

Roban Model operates with a team of approximately 50 skilled employees covering machining, composites, painting, assembly, and quality control. Its production activities include mechanical and structural design, mold development and CNC machining, manufacturing of composite and metal parts, painting, finishing and detailing, as well as assembly, quality control, and packaging. The company defines itself as a specialized manufacturer focused on precision and consistency rather than volume, in an industrial environment oriented toward mass production.
