Dedicated Viking foundries and manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art CNC equipment to assure unmatched quality is built into every pump. Viking products also meet the applicable standards or certification requirements for ATEX, CE, DIN, BSP, JIS, ANSI, UL, and others.  Viking pumps are individually produced and hand assembled by craftsmen to each application requirement for superior quality and enhanced pump/application interface.

Material Options Matched to Application

Viking's dedicated iron and alloys foundries provide pump construction materials from cast iron to Alloy C. Application-specific materials of construction extend pump life significantly, while reducing maintenance and unplanned downtime, which enables increased production and a better bottom line.

Viking maintains both spectrographic and sand testing labs in each foundry. Tensile testing is performed on-site. Nodularity checks are performed on each ladle of ductile iron.

Six Sigma is a business practice that enables Viking to deliver the ultimate in quality products and services. Six Sigma starts with identifying what is important to customers, then improving upon these Critical to Quality (CTQs) issues.  The Six Sigma process focuses on data-driven problem identification, isolation, and resolution, driving significant and lasting improvements that are quantifiable, measurable, and above all, felt by our customers.
