About us
The history of Anvol dates to early nineties when operations started in a small garage on the outskirts of Tallinn. Those were the days full of challenges and opportunities when market economy was just gaining ground. We stood up to the challenges and managed not to miss opportunities. For 30 years and counting. Nowadays Anvol is an international team of great professionals that holds leading position in toys, games and trending products distribution and retail.
Anvol operates across the Baltic Sea region (Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Sweden) and has strong partners in Caucasus and in Central Asia. The HQ and the main logistics centre of the company are located nearby Tallinn allowing for flexible and hassle-free goods flow management. Anvol employs over five hundred people and has an annual consolidated turnover of EUR 70 Mio, growing consistently year-on-year.
Being a leading distribution company in its field, Anvol offers to its suppliers a great deal of attention to the quality of the work we do. Many of our suppliers have been with us for decades already, proving that responsibly managed cooperation does stand the test of time. Our marketing team does its best in producing fresh and creative ideas to promote our brands using both traditional and digital platforms. The salespeople of Anvol are always in touch with our customers to find the best ways of meeting their needs and taking our co-operation even further.
Building upon the success of our distribution business, in 2004 we took on another challenge by getting engaged into retail operations. Our stores are branded XS Toys and there are over fifty of them now, located in seven countries and featuring top quality toys and trending products to meet demands of the most sophisticated shoppers.
The stores are operated directly by Anvol in the Nordics and in the Baltic countries. For other territories we have developed a comprehensive franchising platform that is open for new partners. XS Toys are also available for its customers online, completing the 360⁰ marketing approach to the work we do. As of 2024 selected XS Toys stores incorporate Build-A-Bear Workshops – a sign of trust to the quality of our retail concept of which we are extremely proud.
We have been on the road for over 30 years, yet we feel that we are just getting started. With all the knowledge and expertise, we have gained over these years, the fantastic team, and top partners we feel confident about the future and well prepared for the new challenges and opportunities it will bring to Anvol.
