Varlion was founded in 1973 in Argentina as a family business, originally producing wooden rackets. It expanded into padel in the early 1990s and quickly gained recognition for its innovative designs. In 2005, the company opened a European headquarters in Spain, and today it exports to over 30 countries. Varlion remains family-owned and is one of the few padel manufacturers that produces rackets entirely in-house.

Varlion’s most popular lines include the Summum series, which features a diamond-shaped head for power players, and the Carbon Pro series, which uses a teardrop shape for balanced performance. The Maxima line offers control-oriented rackets with round shapes, while the Vertigo collection targets aggressive attackers. Many models incorporate Varlion's patented 'Dual Density' rubber system for improved feel.

Question 5

What price tier does Varlion occupy compared to other brands?
