Production focuses on ffA plastic kits production for origins of the company are linked with the fall of the Communist system in Czechoslovakia. Right after the Velvet revolution that had brought democracy and freedom to private enterprises, several people and enthusiast for plastic modeling founded MPM Company. The company could rely on the best Czechoslovakian modellers that already had experiences with basic master patterns making suitable for plastic kits moulds. The first MPM kits were released in 1990. These were vacuum formed kits in 1/72 and 1/48 scales. Subsequently the first injection molded parts were supplemented in the vacuum formed kits. The injection molded parts were produced using "Short Run" technology molds made from special heat resistant hardened epoxy resins. Gradually MPM Company trimmed this technology up to the level that they were able to release the first full injection molded kit in 1992. This "Short Run" technology, when the master pattern is copied into special heat resistant hardened epoxy resins, became the main program of the company. The affiliated company CMK was founded in 1995. CMK focuses on production of resin kits or their parts. The CMK products are released under own CMK logo in several series, but also their products are supplemented in MPM kits. CMK also offers on demand polyurethane and white metal casting.
