WE ARE PIONEERS OF SUSTAINABLE PREFABRICATED BATHROOMS
The first prefabricated bathrooms were manufactured for the 1972 Olympic Games in Germany. Varis launched its production of prefabricated bathrooms six years later.
Today, the company is one of the leading manufactures and developers of sustainable prefabricated bathrooms in Europe. They are installed in the most prestigious hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and apartment buildings.
Varis is a development-oriented company with its own registered research group and is a recipient of many awards, recognitions and certificates of excellence. The prestigious Red Dot award for industrial design, among others.

15% SHARE IN THE GERMAN MARKET
The majority of prefabricated bathrooms are sold abroad, mostly on the German market, where our 15% market share makes us one of the major manufacturers of prefabricated bathrooms. Our excellence is also recognised in Austria, Switzerland, Croatia and Slovenia.
We work together with various institutions, construction companies, architecture firms, hotel chains, healthcare and social institutions, and investors.
“I believe that creativity, business acumen and innovative spirit are our common good. They are virtues that distinguish VARIS and have made it one of the leading companies in Europe: we are capable of producing solutions according to the wishes or needs of our customers. Our motto is: It can be done!”
