New Bright (officially New Bright Industrial Co., Ltd.) is an American toy manufacturer specializing primarily in radio-controlled vehicles headquartered in Wixom, Michigan.[1]
History
[edit]New Bright was founded in 1955 and was originally known for its battery-operated and later radio-controlled toy trains sold at department stores for Christmas.[1][2] Trains such as these are still traditionally sold and New Bright has since introduced other radio-controlled toy types such as cars, boats, and toy robots developed with iRobot.[3]

Aside from RC vehicles, New Bright also sells a small number of non-remote-controlled free-rolling toy construction vehicles, car carrier trucks, and monster trucks.[3]
