Grange Frères
Valence, France



    Follwing WWII, Grange Frères produced the KUKA rotary refuse bodies in France, which were badged as 'Helico'. The relationship with KUKA continued through the 1980s, even after KUKA was bought out by FAUN. A French version of the FAUN 209 Variopress rear loader was sold by Grange Frères as the Jumbo 209. By the end of the decade and into the 1990s, Grange Frères was absorbed into the FAUN Group.
