About us

Although Wood Design is established in 1988, the manufacturing and restoring of carousels is a business that exists in the Vermolen-Giezen family for already three generations. Galloping carousels, Wave Swings and Family rides are the main products for the long existing European market. Since 1992 though, Wood Design started exporting these nostalgic rides also to other markets as Asia and the U.S.A.
Recently the business has changed into Wood Design Group to emphasize the difference in the creation of the attractions.
The Group consists of two divisions: Wood Design Amusement Rides and Vermolen Rides. Read more..
