The company which became Rico was formed by three ex employees of Paya around the time of the Great War (Spain was neutral), producing dolls. Doll maker Santiago Molina Rico joined the enterprise in 1919 and, in 1922, gained control, later renaming the company Rico. Rico produced a huge range of toys and was the main competitor to the better known Paya. Rico finally ceased production in 1984.
