Our history
Located in the North of France, MTD was founded by Mr.Daniel Richard with a clear goal: to preserve the traditional French industrial modeling craftsmanship while serving modern industry.
In July 1999, Mr.Daniel Richard passed on his expertise and passion to his son Mr.Jérôme Richard. In 2023, François Miroux took over the leadership of the company with the aim of continuing the modeling craft while introducing a new focus on small and medium series products in the field of art and decoration.
Our values
Since its inception, MTD has been built around core values:
the precision of craftsmanship, the rigor of manual work, and an attention to detail inherited from past generations. Each piece created in our workshops is the result of a balance between tradition passed down over generations and the technical demands of a constantly evolving industrial world.
Over the years, MTD has preserved the soul of the trade while integrating modern design and manufacturing tools. Our experienced model makers bring to life molds, models, and prototypes crafted according to the highest standards, ensuring high-end tooling that is precise, durable, and perfectly suited to industrial needs.
