The benchmark for gourmets. Before Viking, home chefs had no real options. And after Viking, there are no other options. From the introduction of our flagship ranges to the Viking Cooking Schools, Viking has become synonymous with the epicurean lifestyle. Ranges. Refrigerators. Grills. Dishwashers. Ovens. Cooktops. Cookware. Cutlery. Small appliances. Cooking schools. We settle for nothing less than culinary perfection in everything we do. And every gourmet knows it.

Viking is a community within a community. And even though Viking products ship around the world, the company has always stayed true to its roots in Greenwood, Mississippi. The Viking range was dreamed up in Greenwood. And the people of Greenwood believed in it. Their encouragement and elbow grease have helped push Viking to where it is today. These are Viking people, and they are our greatest asset.

In this town of 20,000, located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, people actually know their neighbors – next door and three streets over. They’re accustomed to pulling together to get things done. And you’ll encounter that same friendly attitude throughout Viking. Goals are shared and ideas encouraged on all levels. Problems are solved and successes celebrated. Together.

The finest kitchen in the world doesn’t amount to much unless it’s filled with your family and friends. Viking applies this same philosophy to our offices and factory floors.

Wellness opportunities are offered and education is encouraged. Viking has partnered with local colleges to make it easier for our employees to earn degrees. We have also established training programs to teach specialized manufacturing skills. And supplemental training is readily available for employees eager to advance their position.

OUR PEOPLE AND OUR COMMUNITY
Viking is also a firm believer in community improvement. So we’re always happy to sponsor an event or donate Viking products to a charity auction. But we also strongly encourage our people to get involved. Money helps, but nothing happens without time and heart. The Drop Out Prevention Program, American Heart Association Heart Walk, local United Way, March of Dimes, and American Cancer Society Relay for Life count among our worthy local endeavors. In the end, Greenwood is more than where we work or where we live. It’s who we are.

OUR FACILITIES
Our corporate headquarters now occupies an entire block of Greenwood’s beautifully restored historic Cotton Row. And we currently operate four manufacturing plants, a distribution center, and a new product support center, with over 1,000 employees on the local payroll. Today’s facilities utilize state-of-the-art machinery, diagnostic checkpoints, and progressive production techniques to

keep things running smoothly – on the line and in the kitchen. Viking’s growth has led the revitalization of downtown Greenwood. It seems that with each corporate expansion, another historic building is restored. The Viking offices are now spread between 12 buildings, all of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Several of the buildings have also received state and national historic preservation awards for their meticulous renovations. The comfortable feel of the architecture is only fitting for the family atmosphere at Viking headquarters. Our production facilities have also expanded over the years. Our cooking products plant now encompasses 230,000 square feet. Viking also manufactures its refrigeration and ventilation product lines in Greenwood. The 153,000-square-foot refrigeration plant sits next door to the cooking products facility. Our 95,000-square-foot ventilation plant is located a little further down the road, conveniently adjacent to our 80,000-square-foot distribution center and our new, state-of-the-art 86,000-square-foot dishwasher plant. The Viking spirit of self-sufficiency keeps all these facilities in Greenwood. And dedication to innovation ensures that they will continue to expand.

OUR PRODUCTS
Viking introduced professional cooking to the home when our first range shipped in 1987. Now that same exceptional performance extends into every corner of the kitchen – even the backyard. Refrigerators. Wine Cellars. Dishwashers. Grills. Cookware. Cutlery. Small appliances. It’s enough to turn any cook into a chef.

When people think of Viking, the bold, commercial look of the Professional Series range is the image that most likely pops into their heads. Ultra-premium features like high-performance burners, convection baking, and infrared broiling easily handle everything from creme brûlée to rack of lamb. The legendary Viking range is available in gas, dual fuel, and electric models, as well as an array of sizes and finishes to fit any kitchen.

And for those who want professional performance without the professional look, there is the Designer Series. Clean lines and contours meld gracefully into cabinets with style, offering a striking new look for Viking. Fully equipped with outstanding features and power, this complete line of products doesn’t sacrifice any of the world renowned Viking performance for fashion’s sake. Haute couture meets haute cuisine.

Although Viking is best known for our flagship ranges, we have brought the same level of culinary excellence to every product in the kitchen. Built-in products marry performance with convenience. And our ventilation systems offer the perfect complement to our cooking products. Our assortment of refrigeration products ensure the practicing gourmet always has ample cold storage for fresh ingredients and refreshments. Cleanup products quietly tackle the post-party chores.
