Our Story
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 addition, Virco is a leading furniture and equipment supplier for convention centers and arenas; banquet and meeting facilities; federal, state, county and municipal government facilities; places of worship.
