Conrad Modelle (previously Gescha) is a German manufacturer of Diecast scale models primarily in 1:50 scale for use both as toys and promotional models by heavy equipment manufacturers. Conrad had the Caterpillar line of construction vehicles starting late 1960s through about 1992, but then the licenses changed over to Norscot.

Conrad is a name that stands for the art of taking a different view of things, which is what their business is all about. Only at first glance does the appeal of a miniature lie in its size – what is much more important is the ability of discovering maximum detail in minimum dimensions. This process begins in the mind – or, more accurately, with a well-trained eye.

Conrad’s Vision

The company’s special approach of realizing small-scale models is both based on the aspects of tradition as well as innovation to ensure the products high quality and visible accuracy in detail.

Günther Conrad has been running the company since 1987. Supported by his wife Gerdi – and now also by their daughter Christine – the Conrad Company is a perfectly managed family-owned company.
