Welcome to Roden Kits The firm works on the following directions:

Solid-state modeling and industrial design
Products and tooling design
Tool manufacturing
Manufacturing of plastic items

The ideology of new products' design is based upon the solid-state modeling that allows not only to create the design of the product and to conduct its computer assembly, but also to evaluate design as a whole and to judge the solutions that were adopted during the projecting stage.

Working with CAD/CAM/CAE systems during the design stage allows to create the mathematical models of every separate part that are further used in tooling design and in development of the programs for the digital control machines. The mould design engineers, the industrial engineers and programmers of digital control machines get perfect projects to work with that allows to compete on the market not only with quality and design, but also with the rapidity of new products introduction. Having an extensive experience in design of the technical products, computer accessories, food and technical packaging, airplane model kits and armored technics we are ready to provide any kinds of the above stated services for you…

The development of tooling is conducted by the way of implementation of CAD/CAM/CAE systems using the mathematical models of the parts created during the product's design stage. This ensures high quality and accuracy of the press tools and moulds being produced. If necessary, the overall analysis of product's integrity during moulding as well as strength analysis are conducted. RODEN owes its success on the world's market primarily to the high quality of the products that is set in at the stage of tooling design.

The tool manufacturing specializes in manufacturing of press tools, moulds, polygraphic cliches, matrices for vacuum-moulding, details of complex configuration.
Extensive experience of working with the digital control machines allows to produce unique in their complexity electrodes for electric discharge machining, parts with double curvature surfaces, engrave polygraphic cliches of any configuration.

The traditional selection of technologies used by tool manufacturers is enlarged by such a unique technology as Ni-Co galvanoplastica for the production of forming moulds' inserts according to the master-model of the product.

Roden Kits pays special attention to the quality of moulding and the plastic materials used in the production process.

Here our ideas are embodied into real products.

The moulding of plastic articles is conducted on injection moulding machines with the volume of injection from 45 to 250 cm3.

The technical products, airplane and armored technics model kits are in the quantity production.

The company was founded by a group of model enthusiasts in 1990, headed by Konstantin Krivenko, who set about trying to turn their hobby into a profession and launch such a product that they themselves lacked at that time.

In 1993, the Star company won an investment competition and received a production base in the form of the Lobnensky plastic toy factory.

A complete modernisation of equipment was carried out at the factory, a new production building was erected.

It is here that the main production facilities of the enterprise are now located, which allow constantly expanding and improving the product range.

Over the years, the Star company has been transformed from a small private enterprise into the largest manufacturer of prefabricated models and board games in Russia.

In 2010, a whole series of prefabricated models were created, which are assembled without using glue.

Their range is diverse, and historical accuracy was confirmed by military historians and professional journals in the field of military technology and modeling.

All models of this series can be easily assembled and introduced into the specially developed Art of Tactic gaming system.
