Erector Sets were first produced in 1913, fifteen years after Frank Hornby created Mechanics Made Easy in 1898, which became Meccano in 1907. Initial Erector Sets were produced by the Mysto Manufacturing Company, before reorganisation as the A C Gilbert Company. Erector was purchased by Meccano in 2000, by which time Meccano was French owned, before being purchased by Canadian Spin Master in 2013.
