Volla is a distinctive German technology brand founded by Dr. Jörg Wurzer, operating under the company Volla Systeme (Hallo Welt Systeme UG). The brand gained international attention through successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, positioning itself as a privacy-centric alternative to mainstream mobile devices. Unlike standard consumer electronics, Volla devices run on Volla OS, a 'de-Googled' version of Android, and offer multi-boot support for alternative operating systems like Ubuntu Touch.

While many tech companies outsource entire production lines to Asia, Volla emphasizes local manufacturing. The assembly and final production of Volla devices typically take place in Remscheid, Germany, often in partnership with Gigaset Communications. This strategy allows the brand to maintain higher quality control and adhere to strict European data protection standards. The ultimate ownership remains independent and private, held by the original founding team in Germany, ensuring the company's focus on digital minimalist and privacy-first software remains uncompromised by larger corporate conglomerates.
