Twelve 75R32 turrets were installed on the Maginot Line, numbered 401 to 412. They were manufactured by Cail (four turrets), Châtillon-Commentry et Neuves-Maisons (five) and Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire in its factory at Saint Nazaire (three). The fore-armour for these turrets was produced by the Forges et Aciéries de St-Chamond, Aciéries de Longwy and Schneider at Creusot. The cost of the turret was about 2.5 million francs.
