Kato Model Trains was founded by Hiroshi Kato in 1957, in order to satisfy the needs of the Japanese market, which was booming thanks to the industrial revolution that was happening in Japan at the time and which was the result of the re-modernization of the country after World War II.
In 1987 they expanded to the U.S. market opening its subsidiary, Kato Model Trains USA. Their first product for the American market was the diesel-electric hybrid EMD GP38-2 locomotive produced by General Motors Electro Motive Division
