Founded in 1927 Paris, CIJ, short for Compagnie Industrielle du Jouet, started out by making tin toys. Among them were Citroen models ranging in size from 1/8 to 1/15 that were made for Citroen until 1934. CIJ switched to manufacturing Renaults in 1935, eventually offering smaller sizes. CIJ introduced their diecast range in 1950.
The company ceased operations in 1965, but the brand saw a comeback in 2007 when Norev produced a collection of re-editions of CIJ models of Renaults from the 1950s and 60s.
