Thanks everyone for your input. I'm sure that this must be the right answer.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Gerard Reid (X): There are endless possibilites for what VVK could be. Have you any more information?
28 mins
  -> yet, it would help to have a wee bit more information:)
agree  Ulrike Lieder (X): Unlikely, wrong gender (German reads, im Auftrag der VVK, thus VVK has to be feminine)
2 hrs
  -> I thought it was feminine here:)
agree  Kieran Treeby (X): Ulrike, have a look at http://www.siemens.com/page/1,3771,257683-0-15_0_0-0,00.html - VVK is feminine, according to this
2 hrs
  -> thanks, Kieran:)
neutral  Dr. Fred Thomson: Ulrike is right. "Kontor" is neuter (das Kontor), so it does not fit.
6 hrs
  -> yes, you're right, thanks. I wonder what it means then:)
agree  Steffen Pollex (X): It is, most likely, what is meant. If you have a look, the above-mentioned "Kontor" is a GmbH (LLP in English. And GmbH is definitely "die", so-no contradiction at all. The asker's text just left out the "GmbH" while using the abbreviation.
18 hrs
  -> thanks, that might explain it!:)

neutral  Ulrike Lieder (X): But then the German would have to read Im Auftrag des VVK - whatever VVK is, it's feminine
1 hr
  -> You are right, Ulrike. Niether "der Verband" nor "das Kontor" seems to fit with "der VVK."
