VO FAKTORI , DEDICATED TO THE ART OF GUNMAKING .
DILIGENT ATTENTION TO EVERY SINGLE DETAIL .
A SEARCH FOR PERFECTION RESULTING IN INNOVATIONS . HUNTING IN SWEDEN HAS A LONG AND PROUD HISTORY .
to change when the crown prince of Abu Dhabi , Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan , bought his Big Five VO Collection . A magnificent selection of weaponry that made VO Vapen famous in the Middle East . This was the beginning of a new era with a focus on exclusive collections , limited editions and unique tailor-made rifles for some of the most demanding customers in the world .
“ Not a single rif le , or even a small detail , leaves our Faktori , without being thoroughly tested and refined by Viggo Olsson . He is still our Master Gunsmith , and in many ways we still create our rifles as in the beginning . One thing has changed , however , today we use highly advanced machinery and innovative processes , in finding new solutions .”
In their search for perfection , VO Vapen have had to come up with better , more precise or safer methods . Sometimes this has actually resulted in exciting innovations . Many of these inventions are patented and now a part of the VO Vapen family . As with everything from the company , they have been created , produced and thoroughly tested at VO Faktori .
But what is most important for this family business is the on-going bond they have with the hunters who are out there using their weapons . That person , no matter their geographical location , has always been the focus . No
business strategies or specific geographical markets have ever existed . This bond between the craftsman and the customer has often grown into a relationship that has lasted , sometimes over several generations . Welcome to VO Vapen – a world of sustainable technology , innovation , and pure artistry .
