Norev: 70 years of history and French know-how

Founded in 1946 by Joseph Véron (Norev being an anagram of his name), this French brand has established itself as one of the world's leading names in model car making. Based in Villeurbanne near Lyon, Norev has survived the decades adapting to technological developments while preserving its artisanal expertise .

The company enjoyed its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s with its famous colored plastic models, before turning to metal and refining its reproduction techniques. This constant evolution has allowed Norev to maintain its position as the French leader in the face of international competition.

Today, the brand continues to produce Model cars of remarkable quality , combining French tradition and modern technologies. Each Norev model tells a story, that of the French automobile and its influence throughout the world.

The anecdote that makes the difference

A fascinating story links Norev to the French automotive industry: in the 1970s, French car manufacturers directly approached the brand to create promotional Models for their dealerships. These models, now highly sought after, were offered to customers when they purchased a new vehicle.

This privileged collaboration explains why Norev Model cars are exceptionally faithful to the original models: the designers had access to the manufacturers' actual technical plans! This authenticity has earned the brand's reputation among the most demanding collectors today.

A fun fact: some Norev models from the 1960s were sold with real miniaturized Michelin tires , creating a unique collaboration between two flagships of French industry.
