:: Voilatoy - About Us

We are a Thai wooden toy manufacturing company based in Samutprakarn province which is located on the outskirts of Bangkok. Established in 1981 with a small workforce of ten workers, the first factory quickly became too small, therefore we moved to our present factory in 1991. Our present factory has over 400 workers producing over 500,000 toys each year.

Our Products
We design and manufacture safe and well-crafted wooden toys under the Voilà brand name. Our Voilà toys are colorful and carefully designed to stimulate children's imaginations as well as to support their physical and mental development. Children will spend countless hours playing with and enjoying our toys, while appreciating the beauty of the wood used in their production.

Product Safety Statement
We design and manufacture our toys according to international standards such as European EN 71, US ASTM F963 and our Thai national standard TIS 685-1997.

We use wood from rubbertree (official name : Hevea brasiliensis) which is planted mostly in the southern part of Thailand. The main purpose of these trees is to yield liquid white latex which is used to make rubber. After the trees become too old to yield latex, they are cut down and replaced with new ones. The lumber from these trees is therefore plantation wood - not forest wood. It has been our philosophy from the start up of our company in 1981 to help protect the environment by making full use of our wood and ensuring that there is no waste.

We also used MDF (medium density fiber) board, which is manufactured from sugarcane pulp. After the sugar mills squeeze the water from sugar cane, the leftover pulp is used as the main raw material in these MDF boards. Again, nothing is wasted.
The colors used in manufacturing Voilà toys are water based and are tested periodically by independent lab testing specialists such as SGS and ITS. Every batch of paint delivered is also tested and guaranteed by the suppliers.
Our paints have been screened for chemicals such as lead, cadmium, barium and etc., as well as for prohibited chemicals in wood such as PCP, and have passed the requirements of all toy safety standards.

All materials used, from wood to MDF to paper, have been assessed for their impact on the environment. This concern reflects the fact that in 2002, we were the first Thai wooden company to earn the right to use the Green Label Logo from the Thailand Institute for products made from rubber wood.
Our management system covers 4 areas of :
Quality
Environment
Safety (of our workers)
Social Accountability

In fact, we are very proud to announce that we were the first wooden toy company in Thailand to achieve all three standards (ISO 9000, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001) since 2002. We have now incorporated these 3 standard guidelines and Social Accountability standards (TLS 8001-2003) into our Voilà management systems and have adhered to them rigidly.

Distribution
Besides retailing our toys domestically in Thailand, we also export worldwide.
