VOLA A/S

VOLA Company History

VOLA is a family owned business owned by the Overgaard family. The first VOLA taps were designed in 1968 by Arne Jacobsen for the National Bank of Denmark. VOLA is recognized as one of the design classics within Scandinavian design and has received several international design award over the years.

All VOLA taps and accessories are manufactured in Denmark. For the past 50 years VOLA has been very active selling its products in Europa. From 1987 until 2006 VOLA established 7 sales subsidiaries in the UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Austria and has been very successful with that. Later sales subsidiaries in Australia and Korea followed.

VOLA has flagship showrooms in Shanghai, London, Zurich, Amsterdam, Munich, Brussels, Stockholm, Vienna, Melbourne, Copenhagen and Aarhus.

In 2012 VOLA established a rep. office and a showroom in Shanghai and has now two business development managers working from the showroom.

The showroom is in a design community in a rebuilt police station, now called the design commune by the famous architects Neri and Hu. In 2014 the Danish queen visited the showroom.

As around 90% of the turnover goes to Europe VOLA has decided to implement its Asia Pacific strategy comprising China, Hong Kong, Korea and Australia to increase its sales outside Europe and in this way create growth and spread the commercial risk.

In the VOLA Academy VOLA receives architects and interior designer every week for events, lectures and factory visits. The VOLA Academy was built in 2008 – the same year where the VOLA brand celebrated its 40thanniversary.

VOLA公司历史

   VOLA是一家由Overgaard家族拥有的家族企业。第一个VOLA水龙头由Arne Jacobsen于1968年为丹麦国家银行设计。VOLA被公认为斯堪的纳维亚设计中的经典设计之一，多年来屡次次获得国际设计大奖。

  所有VOLA水龙头和配件均在丹麦制造。在过去的50年里，VOLA一直在欧罗巴积极销售其产品。从1987年到2006年，VOLA在英国、瑞士、荷兰、德国、比利时、瑞典和奥地利建立了7家销售子公司，并取得了巨大成功。随后，又建立了澳大利亚和韩国的销售子公司。

  VOLA在上海、伦敦、苏黎世、阿姆斯特丹、慕尼黑、布鲁塞尔、斯德哥尔摩、维也纳、墨尔本、哥本哈根和奥胡斯设有旗舰展厅。

   2012年，VOLA在上海设立了一个代表处和一个展厅，现在有两名业务开发经理在展厅工作。

   该展厅位于一个重建后的英国巡捕房的设计共同体内，现在称为设计共和，由著名设计公司Neri&Hu设计。2014年，丹麦女王参观了设计共和以及VOLA旗舰展厅。

由于约90%的营业额流向欧洲，VOLA已决定实施其亚太战略，包括中国、香港、韩国和澳大利亚，以增加其在欧洲以外的销售，以这种方式创造增长和分散商业风险。

在VOLA学院，VOLA每周都有邀请建筑师和室内设计师来参加活动、讲座以及参观工厂。VOLA学院建于2008年，也就是VOLA品牌成立40周年的同一年。
