More information on VVS-Trading by Ahlsell: https://www.vvs-trading.dk/ + VVS-Trading is a company steeped in tradition, which has many years of experience in trading in plumbing articles. The company VVS-Trading began in the mid-1970s with a modest range for the do-it-yourself man. The ambitions reached further, and when the company changed owners in 1984, it was with the clear goal of getting a wider range, a faster packaging technique and a focus on building its own brands. Through hard work and a great deal of humility, our brands: Target, Geyser and ADORA are today recognized brands by consumers as well as by professional craftsmen.

The combination of a high-tech warehouse of 6,000 m 2 and 5,400 stocked products combined with  efficient logistics means that today VVS-Trading is Denmark’s largest provider of plumbing articles for the do-it-yourself industry.
