Quiralu is an ancient French toy company known primarily for its lead soldiers. It was founded in 1932 by Émile Quirin who then ran a family art foundry in Luxeuil in Haute-Saône 1. In 1941, his son-in-law Hubert Desgranges took over, then in 1948 Bernard Desgranges son of Hubert 2, took over turn the command.

The Quiralu foundry closed in 1961.

Previously, it had produced an entire series of miniature cars (especially the Trans-Saharan Berliet truck) on a scale close to 1/43. These models were of equivalent quality to that of competing brands such as Dinky Toys or Solido. Below, you will find a gallery of car production, with all the models reproduced.
