Meccanica Bessana Toys (mostly known for its acronym and tradename Mebetoys),[1] was an Italian toy manufacturer that produced die-cast scale model cars during the 1960s and 1970s.
The company was purchased by Mattel in 1969, which continued commercialising Mebetoy as one of its brands. Mebetoy's main competition in Italy was the earlier trailblazer Mercury, Polistil and the rarer Ediltoys.
