History:GSI Creos
GSI Creos, originally founded as D. Hayashi Shoten in 1931, began as a raw silk trading company. Over the decades, it diversified into textiles and industrial products. In the 1960s, under the name Gunze Sangyo, the company introduced "Level Color," a solvent-based acrylic paint tailored for plastic models, marking its entry into the hobby industry. This product evolved into the renowned "Mr. Color" line in 1977. Rebranded as GSI Creos in 2001, the company expanded globally, establishing subsidiaries across Asia and beyond. Today, the Mr. Hobby brand is esteemed worldwide for high-quality paints, adhesives, and modeling tools.
