WOLA was established in 1945 as a state-owned factory producing gloves and thick knitted products. From the beginning of its existence, the plant invested in development, successively expanding the machine park and diversifying the assortment. Having more and more experience in knitting, in 1951 the factory started the production of hosiery. At the end of the 1980s, Wola appeared on the Eastern market and began to gradually conquer the German and French markets. In the early 1990s, the rapid development of the market and consumer demands prompted the company to expand its offer with new products: socks and a wider range of tights. At the same time, the computerization of production processes took place. Thanks to the new possibilities offered by the new machines, the production of cotton tights with raised patterns began. In 2001, the next step in expanding the commercial offer was the launch of the production of a new assortment of terry socks and tights for children.
