The Company

   

Founded in 1946, Vollmer is a German manufacturer of structures, details and accessories for six modeling scales. Along with Kibri, Vollmer is currently owned by Viessmann.

The Figures

Vollmer figures are all rebranded Preiser sets; lately the line appears to have been pruned back substantially, if their website is to be believed (items marked OOP? are missing). They're packed in clear plastic boxes slightly larger than Preiser's, with paper inserts and, oddly, vacu-formed nests that appear to be taken from Preiser's smaller boxes. Photos are mine. Vollmer also makes some structure kits that feature animals; the two listed here are actually the same except for the animals included.

Where to Buy

Vollmer products are relatively easy to purchase through online shops, although the figure sets are getting harder to find.
