Nuestra historia
The milestones that define us
We founded Varlion in June 1993 in Argentina, with our own factory from the very first year. While everyone else was manufacturing in Asia, we chose to do it ourselves.
We designed the world’s first oversize racket at 26 cm wide, when all rackets at the time were 24 cm.
We moved production to Spain. 3D design, automated manufacturing, and the launch of the world’s first racket with carbon fiber on the face: the LW Carbon.
The LW Carbon 3 model became the best-selling racket in padel history: more than 60,000 units sold in Spain over a decade. This milestone is why, even today, this racket is still known as “the iconic one”.
We invested €2.5M to build a 3,500 m² facility equipped with robotics, CNC technology, and our own design department. It was the brand’s biggest industrial investment to date.
Inspired by Formula 1, we launched the first racket with an aerodynamic diffuser in the heart. A turning point in the performance of padel rackets worldwide.
We reduced the use of paints and solvents by 80%. High-end rackets are shown as they are: exposed carbon, with no artifices. Honesty turned into aesthetics.
We celebrated 25 years of history with one of our greatest innovations: rackets adapted to playing temperature (W for cold, S for heat) and the birth of Summum technology. We moved the factory to Paraguay.
With the factory closed due to COVID, we opened a new one in Spain in record time. The launch of the Prisma frame marked another step forward in our own technological evolution.
A period of profound internal changes that would test the present and future of the brand.
We founded Varlion Classic with (almost) the same team as always. In-house manufacturing in Madrid, artisanal production, and renewed values: honesty, respect, and a genuine commitment to padel.

Players, factory, tournaments. Real padel — the way it has always been.
We stay with what has always worked.
And we build something better from it.
