Body factory full
The Karosseriefabrik Voll KG was a bodywork company in Würzburg - Heidingsfeld , which existed from 1926 to 1992.
history
Josef Voll founded the company in 1926, initially as an automobile repair workshop. In the beginning, buses were built. Special bodies of all kinds followed, partly in small series, partly as custom-made products on customer request. Fire departments , police and THW ordered their bodies from Voll. Sales vehicles were also manufactured, as well as ambulance vehicles and off-road vehicles, conference buses and mobile homes . Most of the chassis were from Opel . The Opel Blitz cabs were also manufactured for a long time .
Sale of the company
In 1984 the British company Hammond from Dover bought the body shop. A four-seater convertible with a full trunk was built under the trade name "Hammond & Thiede" from 1984 to 1988 a total of 2,873 times on the chassis of a two-door sedan of the two-door Opel Ascona C convertible.
End of the body shop
After the company was sold to the Greek-Cypriot Levitis family, Voll KG withdrew from the profitable car sector and wanted to ensure the company's success with the construction of light and agile city buses called Gazelle and special refrigerated vehicles. But it didn't work out. The layoff of employees began in 1991 and the history of the body shop in Würzburg ended in 1992 .
