Virco

At Virco, we’re committed to providing the best selection of Equipment for Educators. As America’s leading manufacturer and supplier of furniture and equipment for K-12 schools, Virco employs approximately 700 people nationwide. Our 560,000 square-foot Torrance, California headquarters features a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, as does our Conway, Arkansas location, which has approximately 1,750,000 square feet of operational space. Large distribution centers in Torrance and Conway facilitate the quick, efficient shipment of Virco products.

From our earliest days, product development has been a key to Virco′s growth. After getting started in 1950 as a furniture supplier for Los Angeles-area schools, the addition of folding chairs, folding tables and other items soon helped expand our sales to a broadening customer base. More recently, we′ve worked with accomplished designers – like Peter Glass, Bob Mills and Richard Holbrook – to develop products for emerging applications.

Because customer service is our top priority, Virco maintains a nationwide direct sales team and supports a growing dealer network. Our complete spectrum of support services include: three tiers of product delivery; installation and repair; and the comprehensive PlanSCAPE® service, which helps educational administrators successfully manage large-scale furniture and equipment purchases while saving time and money – and avoiding stress – in the process. In addition, Virco now has a dynamic Take-Back program, enabling schools to recycle their out-of-service furniture components rather than sending these items to a landfill.

Virco's primary customer base is Education including; preschool - 12th Grade; junior and community colleges; four-year colleges and universities; trade, technical and vocational schools. In addtion, Virco is a leading furniture and equipment supplier for convention centers and arenas; banquet and meeting facilities; federal, state, county and municipal goverment facilities; places of worship.

We source all raw materials from U.S. suppliers, eliminating the need to ship from overseas. U.S. environmental protection controls, as well as our own commitment to recycling, ensure that our manufacturing processes are sound and contribute to a cleaner environment for all. We ensure our products are California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) certified, as well as GREENGUARD GOLD, which protects the indoor air quality of our schools. We actively recycle, even pioneering the first Take-Back Program, which allows schools the ability to recycle furniture that has been withdrawn from service, rather than send it to the landfill.

All manufacturing processes - from metal fabrication and woodworking, to plastic injection molding, powder coating and chrome plating - are done at our two U.S. facilities. American consumer protection laws and safety standards contribute to Virco's legendary quality. Our products stand the test of time: proof that we design, manufacture and assemble with the safety of children in mind. So much so, that we stand behind our products with one of the strongest product guarantees in the market today.
