Ratio Scale models was founded in 1950 by Jack and Dave Webster in Chorleywood, Herefordshire. They started by producing coach kits made of sheet plywood pressing, which became acclaimed as the finest mass-production models of their day. In 1959 Ratio started making plastic kits and the company name was changed to Ratio Plastic Models. The factory was moved to goring-on-Thames in 1961 and again to Sturminster Newton in 1972 to a purpose built factory. With space to develop, the product range grew, which in turn led to a move even further west to a larger space on the top floor of an old Buckfastleigh woolen mill in 1986. Roger Webster, the managing director, sold Ratio to PECO in 1996 and so started a new era. Even with PECO owning Ratio it is still produced in the Buckfastleigh woolen mill.
