While on Eribafolk Facebook trying to establish a year of manufacture for a classic Netherlands owned Familia, Christophe Brice (forumeriba France) yet again came to our aid. The link he gave mentioned Thann, which is very close to Cernay in France.

I'm trying to find out more about Thann but in the meanwhile I've come across this:-

OK. This is the story :- Quote Christophe "When the german factory burnned they came to Thann. They bought an old factory of caravans to make the Eriba ones. It was during 60 to 70's the METTMANN FACTORY.
After they went to Cernay and they could make 20 units/day."

Here's a link to the French Forum for more information :-
