The foundation of the JOAL company dates to 1949, at which time they made both small metal toys
and locksmith accessories. This second activity was short lived and JOAL has
concentrated on toys ever since. During 60's and 70's JOAL started to specialize
in scale metal miniatures of cars and public works equipment, and more recently a line of trucks. Currently JOAL has about 55 employees at their 130,000
square foot, state of the art
factory in Spain. Where they manufacture models of such brands as Volvo, JCB, Paus,
Manitou, Komatsu, and Liebherr.
