Gisima is a Spanish brand, I believe still made in Spain. The Spanish brands are perhaps the only now left that haven't farmed manufacture to China or Thailand, and didn't begin as a partnership of some kind with another firm (I'm thinking the likes of Kiko, Hobby Cars Modell and LEO here). Gisima created some "heavily influenced" if not outright copies of some Hot Wheels and Matchbox models, and at least the Majorette Gazelle Helicopter. This Volvo container truck is clearly influenced by the very similar Matchbox model, though there are some distinct differences primarily in construction.
Gisima is perhaps not the most sought of the Spanish brands, certainly makers such as Guisval and Mira have stronger followings (and better models), but Gisima is notable for being one of the remaining maverick brands that has held its ground in its native land.
Technically this Volvo container truck is Game-Movil, which I am given to understand is a sub-set of Gisima.
Cool looking Volvo truck from Gisima.
....Like others I hope to find one someday.
