When Franz-Anselm Viegener began producing beer taps in 1899, no one could have predicted his small business out of Attendorn, Germany, would become a global leader in pressing technology. In these early days, core values of innovation, persistence and close collaboration were formed and solidified as an integral part of Viega. 

After nearly a century of revolutionizing the HVAC and plumbing industry across Europe, Viega broke into the North American market in 1999. Since then, we’ve been changing the game and leading the way for press technology and the skilled trades. 

But no matter how far we’ve come, we always remember where we started. 

Check out our 125-year video highlighting our journey from humble beginnings to global leaders. 

Pioneering the Trades 

Throughout our history, we’ve fostered an unwavering commitment to quality and expertise. That means engineering and manufacturing superior press technology and offering resources and support to help skilled trades professionals perform at the top of their game. Our extensive product offering includes high-quality press fittings, radiant heating and cooling solutions, a newly expanded valve offering and much more. 

Our training centers across the U.S. allow professionals to get hands-on experience working with Viega products and exclusive education opportunities from experts. 

Supporting and solidifying the future of the trades has been and continues to be a major focus at Viega, reflected in our presence at tradeshows and our efforts to welcome the next generation of professionals. 

Celebrating 125  

To ring in our 125th anniversary on a high note, we’re hosting several collaborations and giveaways to showcase our unending gratitude and excitement for the future.

We’re kicking things off with a big cheer, partnering with 4 Noses Brewing Company in Broomfield, CO, to draft a signature beer called Pressed American Lager. You can get your hands on some at local Colorado customer events and trainings. Book a training in Broomfield or reach out to your local Viega representative to request to join a trip.

The first of several mini fridge giveaways we’re running throughout the year has already been chosen. A big shoutout and congrats to Benedetto Heating & A.C.! 

As a little throwback to our roots, we also gave away Viega bottle openers to 125 lucky winners.

Looking Ahead 

Our celebrations aren’t only about remembering the past, but also looking towards the future. From continuously launching innovations like our expanded valves portfolio to making technological advances that help professionals navigate and progress in a changing market, we continue working tirelessly to safeguard the future of the trades.

Our efforts to build new manufacturing facilities around the U.S. reflect our commitment to not only product excellence but also to employing hardworking professionals in our own backyard.
