Virco Mfg. Corporation (‘Virco’) designs, produces, and distributes high-value furniture for a diverse family of customers.
The company employs interior designers, CAD layout specialists, and project management specialists to support its direct sales force. These resources utilize proprietary PlanSCAPE software, which enables its selling and service professionals to provide project management from design and layout to full-service campus delivery and setup. The company manufactures a wide assortment of products, offering the breadth and depth to furnish all areas of a campus, including mobile tables, mobile storage equipment, student and teacher desks, technology tables, 4-leg and mobile chairs and stools, activity tables, folding chairs, and folding tables. Virco has worked with accomplished designers, such as Peter Glass and Bob Mills, to develop additional products for contemporary applications. These include the best-selling ZUMA Series, Analogy and Civitas furniture collections, Metaphor and Sage Series items for educational settings, the wide-ranging Plateau and Text Series, and the new Topaz Series.
Virco is a furniture and equipment supplier for convention centers and arenas, the hospitality industry with respect to banquet and meeting facilities, government facilities at the federal, state, county, and municipal levels, and places of worship. The company also sells to wholesalers, distributors, traditional retailers, and catalog retailers that serve these same markets.
To meet the furniture and equipment needs of the company’s customers, Virco leases a 560,000 sq. ft. office, manufacturing, and warehousing facility located on 23.5 acres of land in Torrance, California; this facility includes its corporate headquarters, West Coast showroom, and its West Coast distribution operations. In the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2025, the company executed a five-year extension of this lease, expiring on September 30, 2030. To complement the company’s Torrance-based operations, Virco owns three manufacturing and distribution facilities in Conway, Arkansas. The primary facility is located on 100 acres of land in Conway, Arkansas, containing 1.2 million square feet of manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and office space. With high-density storage systems, 70 dock doors dedicated to outbound freight, and substantial yard capacity to store and stage trailers, this facility supports Virco's ability to handle increased sales during its peak summer delivery season and enhances the efficiency with which orders are filled. Virco also operates two other facilities in Conway. The first is a 375,000 sq. ft. factory—acquired in 1954 and expanded and modernized in subsequent years—where a variety of operations take place, including the manufacture of fabricated steel components, chrome plating, and plastic injection molding; components generated here are transferred to other facilities for assembly into finished goods. The second is a 175,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, where compression-molded hard plastic components are fabricated and stored. The company occupied this building under a series of leases for approximately 20 years and purchased this facility in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.
New Products and Markets
In addition to new product programs, the company’s domestic factories allow the company to respond to custom requests or modifications to existing product offerings made by its customers.
Virco has continued to innovate around its line of Healthy Movement furniture with flexible seating that takes movement and choice to a new level. The Room to Move (‘R2M’) Collection, introduced in fiscal 2018, is based on the idea that today’s classrooms are active, dynamic places where students are often given room to move—empowering them with choices of where to sit, how to sit, and even when to sit. The Floor Rocker (available in Analogy, Sage, and ZUMA styles) provides a safe, durable, and ergonomic option for floor seating. The Choose to Move (‘C2M’) 4-Leg Chair, winner of the EDspaces Innovation in Seating Award and the A4LE LearningSCAPES Industry Partner Award, offers an empowering new twist on flexible seating with a patented mode selector that allows the same chair to easily transform from fixed to active seating. Like the C2M chair, the R2M Mobile Task Chair offers movement in all directions—front-to-back and side-to-side—as well as the mobility and adjustability of a task chair. All these products enable healthy movement and flexibility in the classroom while blending with existing Virco furniture. Given the success of the company’s R2M products, the company continues to support the collection with additions, such as the Sage Floor Rocker with a padded seat, which adds additional comfort and design appeal to the Virco Floor Rocker line. The company’s newest addition, the R2M Series Sit-to-Stand Workstation, adjusts up and down with a pneumatic height adjustment lever, easily transitioning from a sitting to standing position. Available in three styles—including Rectangle, Wedge, and Corner—along with multiple storage accessories, these mobile workstations open the classroom to new possibilities.
Virco’s 4000 and 5000 Series collaborative activity tables continue to fill the need for active, flexible spaces, now offering expanded shapes, sizes, and adjustable heights, as well as a Floor Table Conversion Kit for the 4000 Series tables. The floor table provides a solution for allowing students to select flexible seating, including having a stable surface while sitting low to the ground. The 5000 Series also now includes stand-up height options to meet the need for more flexibility and choice in today’s classrooms. The company’s robust finish options include a broad selection of laminates, edge banding, and frame choices to fit the needs of every classroom aesthetic.
Understanding that collaboration and engagement take place beyond the walls of a classroom, Virco introduced the Plateau Series Media Tables. With collaborative environments in mind, these tables were designed to bring groups of people together in schools and the workplace. These media tables feature a TV mount for screens and built-in USB and power ports, so students and colleagues can easily exchange ideas and share content. The Plateau Series was also expanded to include more popular shapes and additional leg options, including stand-up, low legs, and casters to broaden height ranges and mobility.
The company’s newest collection, the Topaz Series, was designed by Peter Glass and Bob Mills with teachers in mind. Combining sleek design with intelligent functionality to support modern learning environments, the collection offers a full classroom line that includes a teacher desk and accessory table, classroom cart, mobile bookcases, mobile storage, and two new sit-to-stand workstations ideal for both teachers and students.
As of January 31, 2025, the company was manufacturing its products in 1.1 million square feet of fabrication facilities and 1.2 million square feet of assembly and warehousing facilities in Torrance, California, and Conway, Arkansas.
The company has expanded both the products and the services it provides to its educational customers. Now, in addition to buying furniture Freight On Board (‘FOB’) Factory for export and sales to resellers, customers can purchase furniture for delivery to warehouses and school sites and can also purchase full-service furniture delivery that includes the delivery of the furniture in classrooms. Because the company has been aggressively developing new furniture lines to enhance the range of products it manufactures—and by purchasing furniture and equipment from other companies for resale with Virco products—the company is now able to provide ‘one-stop shopping’ for all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (‘FF&E’) needs in its educational market.
The expansion of the company’s product line, combined with the expansion of its services over the years, has provided Virco with the ability to serve various markets, including the education market (the company's primary market), which is made up of public and private schools (preschool through 12th grade), junior and community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and trade, technical, and vocational schools. Virco also serves convention centers and arenas, the hospitality industry with respect to banquet and meeting facilities, government facilities at the federal, state, county, and municipal levels, and places of worship. In addition, the company also sells to wholesalers, distributors, internet, and catalog retailers that serve these same markets.
Sales, Marketing, and Distribution
Virco serves its customers through a well-trained, nationwide sales and support team, as well as a dealer network. In addition, Virco has a Corporate Sales Group to pursue international sales, wholesalers, mail order accounts, and national chains where it would be more efficient to have a single sales representative or group approach, as they tend to have needs that transcend the geographic boundaries established for Virco's local accounts.
The company’s approach to servicing its customer base is very flexible and is tailored to best meet the needs of individual customers and regions. When considered to be most efficient, the sales force will call directly upon school business officials, who may include purchasing agents or individual school principals where site-based management is practiced. Where it is considered advantageous, the company will use large exclusive distributors and full-service dealer partners. The company’s direct sales force is considered to be an important competitive advantage over competitors who rely primarily upon dealer networks for distribution of their products.
Virco's sales force is supported by a project management team, which includes field-based project specialists, in-house interior designers, project management specialists, purchasing specialists, and field service supervisors. The project management team and the sales force utilize the company's proprietary PlanSCAPE software in conjunction with Building Information Modeling when preparing complete package solutions for the FF&E segment of bond-funded public school construction projects. The PlanSCAPE software supports classroom-by-classroom product selection, product specification, pricing, and furniture delivery, including delivery to and turnkey classroom setup. PlanSCAPE software also enables the entire Virco sales force to prepare quotations for less complicated projects.
A significant portion of Virco's business is awarded through annual bids with school districts or other buying groups used by school districts. These bids are typically valid for one year. Many contracts contain penalty, performance, and debarment provisions that can result in debarment for several years, a financial penalty, or calling of performance bonds.
Sales of commercial and contract furniture are made throughout the United States by distributorships and by company sales representatives who service the distributorship network. Virco representatives call directly upon state and local governments, convention centers, individual hospitality venues, and places of worship. This market includes colleges and universities, preschools, private schools, and office training facilities, which typically purchase furniture through commercial channels.
The company sells to thousands of customers, and no single customer represented more than 10 percent of the company's consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025. Significant purchases of furniture using public funds often require annual bids or some form of ‘authorization’ to purchase goods or services from a vendor. This authorization can include state contracts, local and national buying groups, or local school districts that ‘piggyback’ on the bid of a larger district. In virtually all cases, purchase orders and payments are processed by the individual school districts, even though the contract pricing may be determined by a state contract, national or local buying group, or consortium of school districts. Schools usually can purchase from more than one contract or purchasing vehicle if they are participants in buying groups as well as being eligible for a state or national contract.
Virco is the exclusive supplier of movable classroom furniture for one nationwide purchasing organization, under which many of the company’s customers price their furniture. The company has had a history of contracts with the purchasing organization and was most recently awarded in fiscal 2018, a five-year contract with this organization that extends through December 2022, with two-year extensions at the sole discretion of the purchasing organization extending through 2026 if both options are exercised. The company is currently in the second of the available two-year extensions.
The company’s education customers typically do not have logistic capabilities, and approximately 75% of sales are FOB destination and include freight to the customer. Approximately 50%-55% of sales are ‘full service’ and are FOB classroom and include turnkey setup. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of the company’s product, who in turn provide logistics and service to the ultimate customer. Nearly all of the company’s outbound freight is supplied by third-party carriers. Utilizing third-party carriers is an effective method of addressing the significant seasonal peak in summer and moderating excess capacity issues in the slow season. Reliance on third-party carriers can expose the company to freight rate volatility, fuel surcharges, and capacity constraints in the transportation industry. Historically, the company has been able to obtain adequate capacity from freight vendors to service the summer season. Virco has a seasoned team of installation and project management professionals located throughout the country. These resources work with local agencies to provide classroom delivery and setup as required by customers.
Principal Products
Virco produces the broadest line of furniture for the K-12 school market of any manufacturer in the United States. By supplementing products manufactured by Virco with products from other manufacturers, Virco provides a comprehensive product assortment that covers substantially all products and price points that are traditionally included on the FF&E line item on a new school project or school budget. Virco also provides a variety of products for preschool markets and has developed products that are targeted for college, university, and corporate learning center environments. The company has an ambitious and ongoing product development program featuring products developed in-house, as well as products developed with accomplished designers. The company's primary furniture lines are constructed of tubular metal legs and frames, combined with wood and plastic tops, plastic seats and backs, upholstered seats and backs, and upholstered rigid polyethylene and polypropylene shells. Virco also has flat metal forming capabilities to enable the production of desks, returns, bookcases, filing cabinets, mobile pedestals, and related items.
Virco's principal manufactured products include:
SEATING - Virco offers a full line of classroom seating in a variety of price points, providing high value and quality across all types of seating, from traditional to modern solutions. The ergonomically supportive ZUMA line, designed by Peter Glass and Bob Mills, has been a top seller since its launch. In addition to fixed-height 4-leg chairs, the ZUMA line includes cantilever chairs, mobile task chairs, and lab stools, tablet armchairs with a fixed or articulating work surface and a compact footprint, steel-frame rockers, and floor rockers. Virco continues to innovate around its line of healthy movement furniture with the R2M collection of flexible seating that takes movement and choice to a new level. The R2M Collection is based on the idea that today’s classrooms are active, dynamic places where students are often given room to move—empowering them with choices of where to sit, how to sit, and even when to sit. The Floor Rocker provides a safe, durable, and ergonomic option for floor seating. The C2M 4-leg Chair, winner of the EDspaces Innovation in Seating Award and the A4LE LearningSCAPES Industry Partner Award, offers an empowering new twist on flexible seating with a mode selector that allows the same chair to easily transform from fixed to active seating. Like the C2M Chair, the R2M Mobile Task Chair offers movement in all directions—front-to-back and side-to-side—as well as the mobility and adjustability of a task chair. All R2M seating is offered in the company’s ZUMA, Sage, and Analogy Series. The Sage line, originally designed to serve students in college, university, and other adult education settings—and on high school campuses—now offers a 13’ and a 15’ 4-leg chair and a corresponding pair of cantilever chairs for younger or smaller students; there is also a selection of Sage rockers and floor rockers for K-12 applications and several tablet arm units. Selected adult-height Sage models can be ordered with a padded, upholstered seat. The Analogy seating line includes fixed-height 4-leg chairs, mobile task chairs, and lab stools, cantilever chairs, tablet armchairs with a fixed or articulating work surface and a compact footprint, steel-frame rockers, and floor rockers. Other Virco seating choices include the Metaphor Series—an updated sequel to Virco's best-selling Classic Series furniture with improvements in comfort, ergonomics, stackability, and manufacturing efficiencies. The Sage Contract line is targeted for offices and reception areas, colleges, hospitality venues, and other adult environments. Virco expanded the Sage Contract line with the addition of a mobile tablet-arm workstation that includes an integrated bookrack to further penetrate the higher education market. Civitas chairs and stools are intended for foodservice, libraries, media centers, circulation areas, and related areas where people gather. Additional Virco seating alternatives include the Parison Series for business, dining, and higher education, 120, 121, and 122 Series stools, and the N2 Series, which was designed as a comprehensive, ergonomic seating line that specifically caters to the budget-conscious consumer. Classic Series stack chairs and Martest 21 hard plastic seating models are popular choices in schools across America. Along with this range of seating, Virco serves additional markets, such as event venues and training spaces with a line of folding chairs and upholstered stack chairs, as well as additional plastic stack chairs and upholstered ergonomic chairs.
TABLES - The company’s broad collection of tables offers solutions for K-12 classrooms and multi-use areas across the entire campus, as well as serving higher learning, event, training, and administrative spaces. The company’s 4000 and 5000 Series Activity Tables provide a broad range of shapes, sizes, and heights ideal for collaborative learning. Virco’s TEXT table collection for learning environments—designed by Peter Glass and Bob Mills—features heavy-gauge tubular steel and proven Virco construction for extended product life, and elliptical legs, swooping yokes, and arched feet for exceptional elegance. Selected TEXT models can be equipped with a variety of technology-support and storage accessories. TEXT Tilt-Top Height Adjustable Table further expands Virco’s reach into the seminar, training room, and higher education markets by enhancing the functionality and flexibility of the table while strengthening the Virco and TEXT brands. The Tetra Series is a versatile collection of tables and student desks suitable for various environments. From classrooms to open-office spaces, the Tetra is simple enough to serve as an everyday workstation but can be customized to suit the needs of a fast-paced media lab or seminar training room. Lunada tables, combining Virco's popular Lunada bi-point bases with a selection of 20 top sizes, make great choices for seminar, conference, and related settings. Designed for Virco by Peter Glass, Plateau tables bring exceptional versatility, sturdy construction, and great styling to working and learning environments. For durable, easy-to-use lightweight folding tables, Virco's Core-a-Gator models are unsurpassed. When paired with attractive, durable Virco cafe tops, Lunada bases by Peter Glass provide eye-catching table solutions for hospitality settings. Civitas tops and bases provide excellent furniture solutions for casual spaces where people gather. Virco’s Makerspace tables are designed specifically for hands-on learning environments most commonly found in vocational classes, makerspace areas, and STEM/STEAM-centered education.

Virco also carries traditional folding tables and office tables, as well as technology tables and mobile tables.
TECHNOLOGY TABLES - The TEXT and Tetra Series table collections described in the preceding paragraph provide an array of computer furniture choices for learning or business environments; Virco's Flip-Top Technology tables and Hinged Wire Trough (‘HWT’) Technology tables also deliver popular computer furniture solutions. The 5700 Series features the thick profile leg of the 5000 Series with integrated technology for a modern look. The Plateau Office Solutions collection offers desks and workstations with technology-support capabilities, while the Plateau Library/Technology Solutions line has specialty tables and other products for computing applications.

DESKS/CHAIR DESKS - From the ergonomic and collaborative-learning strengths of its best-selling ZUMA student desks to the continuing popularity of its traditional Classic Series chair desks and combo units, Virco's wide-ranging furniture models can be found in thousands of America's schools. To expand on the popularity of the 785 Student Desk, Virco added a Collaborative Top work surface as an option on all 785 desk models, which facilitates convenient grouping of desks for breakout sessions and classroom collaboration. The Sage Contract Series now includes an optional bookrack, which, combined with the tablet arm and caster options, creates a complete mobile workstation for a variety of environments. The Molecule is a student desk with a uniquely shaped collaborative work surface that can be used by a single student or grouped together with multiple Molecules to create various arrangements and group settings. Related products include an array of tablet arm units, Agile Combo models, and Analogy Series combo chair desks. Selected models are available with durable, colorfast Martest 21 or Fortified Recycled Wood hard plastic components. Many of the company’s student desks offer stand-up height and adjustable height options to accommodate flexible classroom setups. For teachers, principals, and district administrators—and for business environments—Virco offers an extensive range of Parameter desks, returns, and credenzas designed by Peter Glass and Bob Mills. Textameter mobile workstations provide additional furniture choices for educators. Designed with teachers in mind, the Topaz Series Teacher Desks combine sleek design with intelligent functionality to support modern learning environments.

Virco's wide-ranging product selection includes hundreds of furniture models that have earned GREENGUARD Gold Certification. Virco's ZUMA and ZUMAfrd products earned the distinction of being the first classroom furniture models to be certified by the GREENGUARD Children & Schools Program, now known as GREENGUARD Gold certification. All of the models in the company's most popular product lines—including ZUMA, Sage, Analogy, 9000 Series, 5000 and 4000 Series Activity Tables, TEXT, Core-a-Gator, Parameter, Plateau, and Tetra furniture models—are GREENGUARD-certified. Along with Virco's leadership relative to GREENGUARD-certified furniture, the company also introduced the classroom furniture industry's first Take-Back program, enabling qualifying schools, colleges, universities, and other organizations and customers to return selected out-of-service furniture components for recycling rather than sending these items to a landfill.
To provide a comprehensive product offering for the education market, the company supplements Virco-manufactured products with items purchased for resale, including wood and steel office furniture, early learning products for preschool and kindergarten classrooms, science laboratory furniture, and library tables, chairs, and equipment. None of the products from vendor partners accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025 or 2024.
To complement Virco's extensive selection of furniture and equipment, the company offers customers a variety of valuable services in connection with the purchase of Virco products; revenues from these service levels are included in the purchase price of the furniture items. The company has a staff of interior designers to assist in designing engaging school environments, CAD layouts. The company’s proprietary PlanSCAPE software prepares detailed quotations and product specifications, along with detailed room-by-room installation plans, and project management for the delivery and setup of all capital acquisitions that fall under the FF&E line item of new school budgets. Approximately 54% of the company’s revenues in fiscal 2025 included this level of service and support. In addition to giving customers the option of purchasing Virco products utilizing its full-service offering, Virco provides two additional levels of delivery service. When customers choose Standard Delivery—also known as tailgate delivery—the delivery driver is responsible for moving the customer's goods to the tailgate of the truck only; therefore, the customer must have personnel on hand to unload the truck. Virco also offers Inside Delivery (to an inside location). The company will sell furniture to dealers, distributors, and other resellers on FOB factory terms, where the reseller provides service to the customer.
