Ripmax Ltd is one of the UK's largest importer/distributors and continues to expand its already extensive product range

I've been modelling for over 50 years, but Ripmax opened its doors a year before even I was born. The co-founder, Max Coote, decided to concentrate on the design and sale of exclusive lines of modelling goods.

Ripmax now employs over 70 full time staff and the range of products is many and varied across all areas of modelling. The 'New Items 2016' catalogue by itself contains 88 pages.

Along the way Ripmax Plc merged with Irvine Ltd,, another long standing UK importer, manufacturer and distributor, and latterly the group has acquired Amerang Ltd. Ripmax now has its sights set firmly on expansion into Europe.

Since the beginning of the year some 200 new products have been introduced - loads of spare parts and around 18 aircraft, 5 quads, 4 cars, 3 transmitters and 2 boats!

Ripmax distribute some of the most well known brands such as APC, Futaba, Great Planes, GT Power, Hirobo, Ikarus, Irvine, Kavan, Model Technics, OS, Radio Active, Realflight, Slec, Sullivan, Tamco, Topflite, Thunder Tiger, Udi Rc - and quite a few more.

Definitely worth a browse over their site and the New Items catalogue, see the links below
