Luso-Celuloide de Henriques & Irmão, Lda
Trademark: Osul
In the 1950s, one of the brothers left the company to found a new toy-making business, also in Espinho, giving rise to the "Hércules" brand. Around the same time, Luso-Celuloide adopted the name "Osul" ("Luso" spelled backwards) and continued manufacturing plastic toys.

Types of toys made
With just eight employees, the factory initially produced celluloid jewelry, combs, buckles and religious articles. To make use of leftover material and fill slower production periods, the brothers began making small plastic toys. By the 1960s, Osul had expanded into die-cast metal manufacturing under the "Metosul" (or "MetOsul") brand, which became internationally recognized for its detailed 1/43 scale die-cast cars.
