In 1894, Jules Miesse founded a mechanical workshop in Anderlecht to develop automobiles. Two years later, the first steam driven vehicle was finished. Beginning in 1910, commercial vehicles were offered. In 1915, production of lorries with 2.5 and 5 tons payload was started. After World War I, the marked was overstocked with foreign products. As a result, Miesse changed production to heavy special vehicles and omnibuses. Beginning in 1932, the vehicles were offered also with Gardner diesel engines. The name Auto-Miesse was established first in 1939.
