Conrad

Conrad, unusually, is a family-owned company that manufactures its diecast models in Germany. Conrad specialises in trucks, cranes, excavators and similar heavy plant in 1:50 scale, and is known for the quality and detail of the castings. The origins of the company lie in the Gescha toy company, established in 1923, and controlled by the Conrad family since the mid 1950s. The Conrad brand gradually replaced the Gescha brand during the 1970s.
