As we continue our celebration of Volm Companies as our Onion Business of the Month for August, it’s essential to delve into the multifaceted strategies and infrastructure that have cemented their position as a leader in the industry. Volm’s commitment to supporting customers through various challenges, coupled with their strategic domestic operations and impressive range of packaging solutions, stands out as exemplary.
Volm Companies have earned a reputation for being a steadfast partner during emergencies, high-demand periods, and the unpredictable impacts of mother nature. Whether facing bumper crops or less favorable harvests, Volm’s agility and preparedness ensure that their customers receive the necessary support. Their ability to sustain operations and provide solutions during challenging times is a testament to their reliability and dedication.
A critical component of Volm’s success is their extensive warehousing capabilities across multiple locations, including Idaho Falls, Pasco, WA, Fresno, CA, Antigo, WI, Canada, and Colorado. Their just-in-time program exemplifies their commitment to maintaining optimal inventory levels, ensuring quick and efficient delivery to meet customer demands. This network of warehouses enables Volm to seamlessly manage inventory and provide timely solutions.
Volm’s domestic manufacturing plant plays a pivotal role in supplementing import orders. While imports may be chosen due to bulk purchasing benefits, Volm’s domestic operations offer a crucial buffer during high-demand periods or import delays. Volm stresses that their flexibility ensures that customers have access to essential packaging solutions when they need them most. The domestic plant’s ability to cater to customer preferences and provide a reliable backup underscores the importance of having a strong domestic presence.

Volm Companies pride themselves on their fast turnaround times for domestic Wicketed and non-Wicketed Leno bags, with current lead times averaging 3-5 weeks. Their extensive product range includes various styles and sizes, from 50lb to 10lb bags, and they offer customization options to meet specific customer requirements. With a wide array of mesh sizes and colors, Volm ensures that they can cater to diverse needs and preferences.
One of Volm’s standout features is their comprehensive in-house capabilities, which encompass graphic design, trucking, transportation, and delivery services. This integrated approach streamlines operations and enhances their ability to meet customer demands efficiently. Furthermore, Volm is at the forefront of the industry’s shift towards automation, continually innovating to improve processes and deliver cutting-edge solutions.
Volm’s Pasco office exemplifies their commitment to providing localized support. It houses packaging sales, technical support for equipment, and project design and management services. Jared Gutierrez, the General Manager, oversees operations to ensure that customers receive exceptional service. Relocating their manufacturing equipment from Wisconsin to Pasco was a strategic move, bringing them closer to their primary customer base and simplifying the logistics of import distribution.
Flexibility is a cornerstone of Volm’s domestic operations. In addition to strengthening their domestic program, Volm supports their customers by offering a diverse range of import options with varying prices and lead times. This allows customers to choose the best solutions for their needs. This adaptability ensures that Volm can deliver timely and cost-effective solutions, even in the face of fluctuating demands and market conditions.
As we continue to highlight the achievements and contributions of Volm Companies, it’s clear that their unwavering commitment to excellence, strategic planning, and a customer-centric approach have solidified their position as a trusted partner in the onion industry.
