VILAC
Company History
Deep in the Jura region of France, surrounded by mountains, lakes and forests, Vilac has been
producing high-quality wooden toys and gifts for the past 80 years. Vilac was founded by Narcisse Villet in 1911 as a
wood turning workshop, which later came to specialize exclusively in the finely lacquered wooden toys for which Vilac is
so well known. Appropriately, Vilac is in fact an amalgamation of the name of the founder, "Villet," and the word
"lacquer." In 1985, Vilac was purchased by Hervé Hagland, who continues the Old World wood working traditions to this day.
Timeless Quality
Vilac toys are known for their classic look and feel, from their smoothly rounded, high
gloss lacquered wooden vehicles, to their expansive, finely detailed puzzles. Vilac toys are timeless, with a bold
durability that isn't subject to the fickle whims and ever changing fads of the day. A Vilac toy is meant to last, to be
a part of your child's toy box for years to come. Vilac today divides their production between France and China, with
all lacquered toy manufacturing still taking place in local Jura workshops. All Vilac toys are subject to the highest
levels of product scrutiny, according to regulations of the European Union, to ensure that your child's toys are as safe
as they are entertaining.
