The story of Guisval
Guisval dates its beginnings to 1962 and identifies Ibi, Alicante, as its base. The company’s early products included plastic toys, among them watches featuring the Telerín family. It later specialized in miniature vehicles made from injected metal, distinguishing its production from a market the company describes as dominated by plastic injection.
The Campeón series became a notable part of Guisval’s vehicle range. A specialist reference identifies it as a 1:64-scale series and documents successive annual Campeón listings from 1967 through 1982. The same reference describes the company’s earlier products as including watches and typewriters, before it devoted itself to miniatures; its account also associates the Guisval name with the names Guillem, Serralta and Valero. The company’s current account describes production in Ibi, with metal and plastic injection, surface treatment, pad printing, assembly and packaging carried out as part of its manufacturing process.
