Tekno (toy manufacturer)
Tekno is a toy maker from Copenhagen, Denmark, that began manufacturing construction toys in 1928 and model autos immediately after World War II, selling 1 million a year during its peak (Dickson 2006; Tekno Dansk 1953). While started as a toy company, the focus later shifted to adult collectibles and promotional truck models as the firm was moved to Holland.
The company is not to be confused with Tekno, the "robotic" dog and pony.
==History==
The only Scandinavian company to become an accomplished diecast metal toy producer, Tekno was similar to Schuco Modell, Marklin, or Gama Toys, being one of the oldest toy and model producing firms of Europe. The founder was A. Siegumfeldt, a plumber from Copenhagen, who began producing diecast vehicles in 1945, thus becoming a main competitor to Dinky (Rixon 2005, p. 34).
Brochures show that the company regally celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1953. By this time a wide variety of trucks, tractors and cars were being produced along with toy miniature pots, pans and other kitchenware (Tekno Dansk 1953). Wooden houses, cranes, trucks and other toys, sometimes in association with the Swedish company Brio, were also produced in the 1950s.
