History
Willème was founded in 1923 by Louis Willeme, after working for Automobiles Grégoire.
Most were made with Deutz AG engines; some with in-house engines; some with AEC. In the 1960s, Willème also sold rebadged AEC and BMC trucks.
Willème went bankrupt in 1970 and were taken over by PRP (Perez et Raymond), who continued to produce Willème's TG range of trucks. Eventually, some MOL Trucks were based on Willème designs.
Some Willème heavy-haul trucks are still in service.
