Eligor is a legendary French model brand founded in 1976 by Jacques Greilsamer in Martignat, France. The brand holds a highly revered status in the hobby as one of the very last scale model manufacturers to maintain active factory production on European soil, keeping its main design and manufacturing headquarters based in Izernore, France. 

While Eligor initially built its legacy on classic French cars and vintage fire engines, it has evolved over five decades to become the global gold standard for highly detailed 1:43 scale commercial trucks and heavy transport rigs.

Eligor started out replicating mid-century French cars like classic Peugeots, Renaults, and Citroëns, alongside a highly sought-after range of historic European fire brigade vehicles (Sapeurs-Pompiers).  Today, Eligor is the premier license-holder for recreating precision, highly specialized models of major European truck manufacturers including Scania, DAF, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Iveco, and Renault Trucks.

eyond 1:43, the Eligor Group collaborates with global publishers to engineer massive 1:8 scale build-it-yourself subscriptions requiring over 100 parts sequences to assemble.
