About Viking LLC
Viking was founded in New York State in 1961. Within a few years, the company was relocated in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, where it operated for the next 35 years. Viking started out with very basic dispensing systems and components, the majority of which were manufactured in-house. From eductors and probes, Viking eventually designed complete electronic dispensing systems fabricated in stainless steel cases. In the early 1980s, Viking acquired the injection molding equipment necessary to become the first chemical dispenser manufacturer to house their electronic controls in a plastic enclosure called the Supra case. Also in the 1980s, Viking designed and was awarded a patent for the SuperBowl, the first encapsulated powder dispenser to enable their customers to move away from the side mount reservoirs that were the industry standard. The SuperBowl quickly evolved into the Viking Bowl, the unit against which others are still compared to (and copied from) today.
In the early 1990s, Viking transferred their systems from the Supra case into the new Pro case design. In 1996, Viking decided to build a modern 12,000 square foot building in Nesquehoning, PA and then added a building addition in 2002.
On December 31st 2007, Viking was acquired by Dema Engineering Company in St. Louis. Viking remains at its current location in Nesquehoning, PA and operates under the name: Viking LLC, A DEMA Company. Viking brings 60+ years of experience, and, when coupled with DEMA’s 65+ years, totaling over a century of expertise in chemical dispensing and fluid control.
DEMA’s worldwide headquarters is located in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., with additional sales and warehouse locations in Zeewolde, Netherlands, Sydney, Australia, and Sao Paulo, Brazil. The two product lines combined offers customers the most options in the marketplace when choosing chemical dispensing products to dispense institutional cleaning chemicals economically and accurately.
