History of the Vollmer Company...
and a Portrait of Wolfram Vollmer
Like a lot of medium-sized companies the history of the Vollmer Company is neatly tied to the founder, Wolfram Vollmer.
He was born 1924. After School, an apprenticeship, a study as an optician and the individual planning of a young man – as so many others at that time - was interrupted by World War II.
As a soldier he was wounded and put into captivity. With his return back home, the Vollmer Company was founded with entrepreuneurial courage. The young enterprise produced just those things, which were needed the most at that time, e.g. metall collar buttons.
After the currency reform, everything changed, also the demand. Plasic collar buttons were requested and so the switch to plastic injection technology was the future orientation for Vollmer.
The Entrée into model railway accessory business was made in 1948. One year later, on the Nuremberg Toy Fair Vollmer introduces a patented catenary system for model toy trians, H0 gauge. Shortly after that, the first model houses were produced.
Additional to that, industrial goods production began. Until today Vollmer is manufacturing high precision parts for all kind of industries.
The number of aricles, of personnel and sales are growing, soon new buildings are necessary.
The guidelines for all these years
- products of highest quality
- customer orientation
- esteem of employees
- environmental protection
are still valid until this very day.

Wig-Wag Note: Vollmer produces mostly European outline products and we order any that customers want. When the produce what we feel will have a wide appeal here in the USA we order them and offer them. |

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
