Volcom is a clothing manufacturer. Volcom is based in Costa Mesa, CA founded in 1991 as Stone Boardwear, Inc. by Richard "Wooly" Woolcott and Tucker "T-Dawg" Hall. The creator of the Volcom "stone" is Eli Kramer, a legend in the surf industry. Stone Boardwear caters to the surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding markets, born out of the founders' own experience with these sports.
In April 2005, Stone Boardwear changed its name to Volcom, Inc. On June 29, 2005, Volcom Inc. made and initial public offering on NASDAQ, pricing 4.69 million shares at $19 a share and raising $89 million. The underwriters of the IPO were Wachovia Securities, D.A. Davidson and Piper Jaffray.
Volcom is known for its elaborate uses of the "stone" and its "Youth Against Establishment" motto. Volcom is also actively involved in a campaign that it calls "Let the Kids Ride Free".
Volcom's record label is called Volcom Entertainment.
In early 2008, Volcom made its first acquisition, taking ownership of the sunglasses brand Electric Visual. Transworld Business's Joshua Hunter reported on January 16th 2008 that "The oldest rumor in the industry came fruition in the early hours of the morning as news hit the wire that Volcom, Inc. has reached an agreement with Electric Visual to acquire the brand for $25.25 Million in cash upon closing of the deal."
Since 1995 Volcom has provided a platform for aspiring artists to express themselves through the 'Featured Artist' line of products. In addition to t-shirts the line includes accessories such as hats, wallets and belts as well as board-shorts, sweatshirts and woven/knit shirts.
"Let the Kids Ride Free" is a grassroots effort started by Volcom to make skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding competitions free. It is a way to give back to the community and for kids who don't have their own money for sponsors to be able to ride and compete in an environment that is "more like gathering."
