The story of Quiralu began in 1933 in Luxeuil, France by Lucien Quirin. It was during the interwar period where the brand achieved considerable success with one of its famous products - the Somua bus models. Particularly notable is the use of zamak, an alloy that granted the Quiralu models an exceptional level of finesse and detail. The brand had a setback in 1964 due to economic pressure but it resumed its manufacturing process in 1991 with the promise to uphold and retain the charm of vintage design in their models. An interesting fact about Quiralu is that molds of some of their models were reused by Mignot, to create new ranges of soldiers, historical figures and animals.
