Our story begins with Horst Korallus, a tough-but-fair risk-taker who came to the United States from Germany with little more than the clothes he had on his back. When Horst opened his first Volvo Cars facility in 1964, he built the foundation for a long history of automotive excellence that we're delighted to continue to this day in our brand-new facility. Horst Korallus is someone you should know: Father, Grand Father, Husband, Business Owner, Friend, Employer, Mentor, Author of his own book called Crazy Kraut. At 88 years old, the "HMAN" is still not afraid of taking risks.
