Volvo has various production facilities. {{As of|2022}}, it has plants in 19 countries, with 10 other countries having independent assemblers of Volvo products.

From the mid-1970s onwards, Volvo began building assembly plants with smaller assembly lines, more worker-centric and with better use of automation, leaving [[Fordism]]. These were [[Volvo Kalmar Assembly|Kalmar]] (car assembly, built in 1974),<ref name=ake/> [[Tuve, Sweden|Tuve]] (truck assembly, 1982)<ref name=ake/><ref name=alt>{{cite book |last=Berggren |first=Christian |title=Alternatives to Lean Production: Work Organization in the Swedish Auto Industry |publisher=Cornell University Press |year=2019 | page=129 |isbn=978-0-87546-317-9}}</ref> and [[Uddevalla]] (car assembly, 1989). Kalmar and Uddevalla were closed down in the early 1990s, following yearly losses.<ref name=ake/> The Tuve plant (called the LB plant) replaced the Gothenburg plant (X plant) for truck assembly through the 1980s, as the former could produce more technologically complex models.<ref name=alt/> In 1982, Volvo gained its first plant in the United States, the New River Valley plant in [[Dublin, Virginia|Dublin]], Virginia, after acquiring the assets of the White Motor Corporation.<ref name=diver>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/05/17/business/volvo-diversifying-away-from-autos.html |title=Volvo diversifying away from autos |work=The New York Times |date=17 May 1982 |access-date=9 October 2022 |last=Vinocur |first=John |archive-date=12 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012220822/https://www.nytimes.com/1982/05/17/business/volvo-diversifying-away-from-autos.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Starting in the late 1980s, Volvo expanded its limited bus production capabilities through acquisitions in various countries (Swedish Saffle Karroseri, Danish Aabenraa, German Drögmöller Karroserien, Canadian Prévost Car, Finnish Carrus, American Nova Bus, Mexican Mexicana de Autobuses). In the late 1990s, after a short-lived joint venture with Polish manufacturer [[Jelcz]], Volvo built its main bus production hub for Europe in [[Wrocław]].<ref name=braz/> In the 1990s, Volvo also increased its construction equipment assets by acquiring the Swedish company Åkerman and the construction equipment division of [[Samsung Heavy Industries]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://compactequip.com/excavators/dig-history-volvos-evolving-excavator-range/ |title=Dig this history of Volvo evolving excavator range |work=Compact Equipment |date=22 August 2017 |access-date=10 October 2022 |archive-date=12 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012220823/https://compactequip.com/excavators/dig-history-volvos-evolving-excavator-range/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In 1998, the company opened an assembly facility for its three main heavy product lines (trucks, construction equipment, and buses) near [[Bengaluru]], India.<ref name=braz/>

Volvo Trademark Holding AB is equally owned by AB Volvo and Volvo Car Corporation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www3.volvo.com/investors/finrep/eng/html/thevolvobrandname/ingress.html |title=Volvo Annual Report 1999 |publisher=.volvo.com |access-date=6 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120316204702/http://www3.volvo.com/investors/finrep/eng/html/thevolvobrandname/ingress.html |archive-date=16 March 2012 }}</ref>

The main activity of the company is to own, maintain, protect and preserve the Volvo trademarks, including ''Volvo'', the Volvo branding symbols (grille slash and iron mark), ''Volvo Penta'', on behalf of its owners and to license these rights to its owners. The day-to-day work is focused upon maintaining the global portfolio of trademark registrations, and to extend sufficiently the scope of the registered protection for the Volvo trademarks.

The main business is also to act against unauthorised registration and use (including [[counterfeit]]ing) of trademarks identical or similar to the Volvo trademarks on a global basis.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www3.volvo.com/investors/finrep/eng/index.html |title=The Volvo Brand Name, Volvo Annual Report 1999 |publisher=.volvo.com |access-date=6 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717231302/http://www3.volvo.com/investors/finrep/eng/index.html |archive-date=17 July 2011 }}</ref>
