"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
-J.R.R Tolkien

Who we are

It was Bilbo’s words from The Lord of the Rings that gave life to Varia when founded in 2012, fresh off of a market turned upside down by the 2008 recession. CEO and founder Ron Vaughan took a leap of faith to start something new, a service oriented and relationship driven casework company.
In Latin, Varia means “a collection.” And that’s how the story began for Varia—it was a collection of products, services, and manufacturers offering quality commercial and laboratory casework across the region.

Our philosophy

As our story continues, our collection stands—strategically adapting and consistently meeting the highest standards with the goal of giving end users the best product for their project.

While industries evolve, our commitment remains firm. Our collection is not fleeting—it is carefully curated and intentionally refined. We provide durable, purpose-built casework solutions for schools and universities, ranging from STEM classrooms in private institutions to specialized labs in universities and patient rooms in leading healthcare facilities nationwide. Our collaborations with owners, contractors, and architects across Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky, and beyond showcase the strength and reliability at the core of our work.

Our Partnerships

At Varia these partnerships are at the heart of everything we do. They inspire thoughtfully designed products, built with precision and purpose. Therefore, we stay engaged—listening to stories, keeping pace with innovation, and dedicating ourselves to the work that truly matters. This foundation equips us to press forward, embracing the uncharted path beyond the Shire.
