GUISVAL

 

(...)

"Guisval is the most successful die-cast miniatures manufacturer in Spain. Their models are in the market since 1967, and (specially before the 90s) they could be adquired almost anywhere: not only toy shops, but also in newsagents, or candy shops. The reduced price, the detailed models, how tought they were made, and a very wide variety of colors and decorations, were not overlooked by parents.

 

Francisco Guillén Verdú founded a company with his name in 1962, which originally built some toy watches, toy typewriters and some ships and submarines.

This company changed its name to Guisval in 1967, when two friends of him joined to this project. Their names were: Guillén, Serralta and Valero, and the company was renamed to Guisval, using the first syllables or letters of their surnames (GUIllenSerraltaVALero). These three friends met while they were working for Payá, another toy company, that exists since 1909 in the town of Ibi (Alicante).

Ibi has been the center of the Spanish toy industry during decades, and still is, although the industry nowadays is much weaker."

Guisval, miniaturas en metal

 

"Francisco Guillem, José Luis Serralta y Ramón Valero, tres amigos que trabajaban como mecánicos en la empresa juguetera Payá, decidieron crear en 1962 su propia compañía. Así nació en Ibi (Alicante) la marca Francisco Guillem Verdú, que empezó a funcionar en el sótano de la vivienda de uno de los fundadores.

 

Con el nombre de Guillem más el de los otros dos socios, Serralta y Ramón Valero García, se acuñó la sigla definitiva para la marca: GUI-S-VAL. Valero había obtenido, en su época de Payá, el título de mejor matricero y ajustador de Europa. Antes de dedicarse por completo a la fabricación de miniaturas, GUISVAL produjo también relojes, máquinas de escribir, etc.

Para algunos modelos de las series Campeón y Escorpión, es fácil encontrar el origen en modelos previos de marcas francesas como Champion o Majorette, o británicas como Matchbox."
