Kyosho buys Team Orion – Confirmed

We exclusively informed you last week that Kyosho had bought Team Orion, and now it has been confirmed – “Team Orion, with 20 years experience as the maker of the some of the world’s best electric and nitro power systems, has joined forces with Kyosho, the maker of the world’s finest radio control models. Other than an eventual relocation for the respective Team Orion facilities, the same key people will be in place making all the same products that have made Team Orion such a dominant force in the market. The combined strength and extra resources that result from the partnership will present new opportunities to expand the Team Orion product line.” In the picture, taken at the Shizuoka Hobby show last week is Mr Masayuki Susuki, Kyosho president alongside Philippe Neidhart (center) from Team Orion and Joel Johnson from Kyosho USA.
