The Viking Commitment to Our Planet

 

  • The Viking MagneQuickâ„¢ induction power generators heat the pot, not the kitchen, resulting in 90% + energy efficiency, as opposed to roughly 50% efficiency for gas burners and 60% efficiency for electric burners.
  • Viking offers 6 models of ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators and 4 models of ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers.
  • The refrigerant in all Viking refrigerators is reclaimed and recycled, thereby releasing no harmful emissions into the air at our facilities or our customers' homes.
  • Viking manufacturing recycled approximately 4.6 million pounds of stainless steel and iron in 2007 and utilizes mainly recycled steel in its products. Viking also recycles 100% of its cardboard packaging.
  • Powder-coated rolled steel utilized in Viking appliances eliminates emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds into consumers' homes and Viking facilities.
  • The Viking Production System implements the Kaizen model (continuous improvement), resulting in:
    • Efficient run times
    • Less scrap
    • Fewer errors
    • Less energy consumption
  • Viking ensures that the environment surrounding its manufacturing facilities is protected by utilizing a cleaning process that does not generate hazardous wastes. Water discharge is minimal and monitored/tested before release.
