Some companies say they are committed to fire protection. Viking Group, Inc. has been proving it for over 100 years.

Founded in Hastings, Michigan, Viking traces its roots to the 1880s — and its entry into fire protection to a moment of personal conviction. After a factory fire destroyed his business in 1920, company founder Emil Tyden resolved to enter the fire sprinkler business. From that moment forward, Viking has been building the products and systems that protect lives and property around the world.

Today, Viking is one of the most recognized names in active fire protection. Its product portfolio spans automatic fire sprinklers, valves and system components, foam systems, special hazards suppression, piping systems, and electrical detection and control. From standard commercial buildings to cold storage facilities, data centers, and high-challenge storage environments, Viking engineers solutions for nearly every occupancy type.

What sets Viking apart is not just the breadth of its products — it is the depth of its commitment to the people who install them. Viking delivers products and fabrication services directly to fire sprinkler contractors. And through a growing suite of digital tools — including vDesign, a sprinkler selector, and a valve and system configurator — Viking helps designers and engineers work faster and more accurately.

Viking operates across more than 25 countries, with dedicated operations in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. That global reach, combined with a family of companies that includes Viking SupplyNet, Viking Fabrication Services, and Viking Plastics, makes Viking a true single-source partner for fire protection challenges of any scale.

 “Fire protection is not a static field. Buildings change, occupancies change, and the hazards we face change with them. At Viking, we believe it is our responsibility to stay ahead of those changes — not just by developing new products, but by giving the contractors and engineers who install them the tools and support they need to do their best work. That is what drives us, and it is why our partnership with IFSA matters. We are stronger when the entire industry moves forward together.”
