The company has won accolades for developing an automated and internationally certified factory, achieving ISO 13845 certification in 2009 and exporting to over 50 markets around the world. Storz & Bickel first introduced the world-renowned Volcano product line in 2000 and since then has worked tirelessly to continue innovating and perfecting the industry's leading tabletop vaporizer, in addition to their successful portable handhelds including the Crafty and Mighty devices.
