History
Varidesk started as a product from Gemmy Industries, a novelty and décor company.
In 2012, McCann noticed that a colleague had put his computer on top of a cardboard box. That co-worker wanted to stand and work to relieve his sciatic nerve pain. McCann searched for standing desks online but found products that were either too expensive or difficult to assemble. Soon after building a prototype, more wanted one. The standing desk later turned into a full-fledged product once people outside Gemmy heard about it.
By 2013, McCann made Varidesk into its own entity. Since the company launched in 2013, Varidesk's has grown from two employees and one standing desk to 115 employees and nearly 40 products.
