What they build

Overview

Volareo is a brand owned by MCP Brands LLC, an American holding company based in Lombard, Illinois. The brand is currently focused on designing and selling accessories for popular board and table games, primarily the Mexican Train domino game. Products under the Volareo name include wooden hubs, train markers, and other related accessories, which are distributed through major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Etsy. This current business model is a significant departure from the brand's original identity, which was associated with the development of an open-source, decentralized smart speaker that utilized blockchain technology. The smart speaker project, which was crowdfunded in 2018, is no longer active, and the Volareo name has been repurposed for the consumer goods market under the umbrella of MCP Brands LLC. The company operates as a small business within the broader portfolio of its parent organization.
