Yat Ming (formerly called Yatming) was a die-cast car scale model maker, based in Hong Kong. Yat Ming Industrial Factory Ltd was founded in 1970 by Mr. Wai Ming Lam. Yat in Chinese means "best or number one". The Ming portion came from the founder's "middle name". They primarily made castings of American, European and Japanese cars and continued producing diecast models until 2013. In 2015, their diecast line and tooling was acquired by Lucky Industrial Group Limited, which is now producing these models under their Lucky Die Cast brand.
