Mikro'67 is a Bulgarian manufacturing company based in Razgrad, that produces and commercialises basketball backboards, outdoor recreation goods, toys, and scale model vehicles (mainly cars and trucks).

Nowadays there is only one toy manufacturer left - "МИР"/"MIR" (from the communist era) to "МИКРО" / "MIKRO" a.k.a.

In 1952 in one of the workshops of TPK (producers' co-operative society) Metalik differentiated team of workers for toys manufacturing.

On January 1, 1967, it was established and independent producers' co-operative society for toys manufacturing with chairman Petar Petrov.

Typical for that time were battery-operated toys - machine guns, telephones, SAU tanks and more.

For the first time, the company expanded out of Bulgaria and began exporting products to Czechoslovakia, Poland, Cuba, Albania, and Jordan.

In 1983, topyl printing, assembling the toy boxes with PVX glue, moulding, and plastic parts metalling.

A the English company Matchbox's technology for the production of toys using the moulding method was licensed during this time.

In 1984 the toys from the MUKPO series were awarded with a gold medal at the International Fair in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

In November 1986 a workers team for the manufacture of ski automates licensed from the West Germany company Marker was formed.

The Matchbox company eventually broke the contract with Mikro, but they were unable get back the dies for some models.

The results of this split are that the nowadays Mattel does not recognize Bulgarian models as authentic Matchbox and that there are thousands of new variations by color, stamps, and wheels.

In the first few years of production, they were unavailable on the Bulgarian market, but a limited number of models that didn't meet the German criteria for quality slipped from the factory and got into the hands of local collectors.

Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that the country of manufacture could affect sales because some collectors consider the German or Chinese editions to have better quality.
