Supplier, Manufacturer and Contractor profile
About your company
The Viega story began in Germany in 1899 when Franz-Anselm Viegener invented a groundbreaking brass beer tap. By 1901, the company expanded into home plumbing products and quickly became a leader in pipe pressing technology, with a growing international presence. The launch of Viega North America in 1999 marked a new chapter, widening the brand’s reach and product offerings. Today, after more than 125 years of innovation in building technology, Viega produces more than 17,000 products and stands as a global market leader in metal piping systems, including PureFlow®, ProPress®, MegaPress® and MegaPressG®, for industrial, commercial and residential uses.
Where is your company located?
Viega North America is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, just outside Denver. The company’s manufacturing plants operate in Kansas and Ohio, while distribution centers are in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Ohio. Viega also offers specialized training at seminar centers in Colorado, New Hampshire and Ohio and their Viega Experience Center in New York City provides ongoing education through both in-person sessions and online workshops.
How many employees do you have?
As the number of Viega products continues to grow, Viega continues to expand its extensively trained, highly specialized workforce. Viega North America currently employs more than 1,200 professionals; all committed to creating the best fitting products possible. Globally, Viega has a workforce of 5,500 professionals.
What is the company’s priority over the next five years?
Viega North America is committed to supporting the trades with products made in North America. By keeping production domestic, we can ensure quality standards are met and strengthen our connection to local communities and economies. A recent example of this commitment is our new state-of-the-art manufacturing, distribution and training facility in Mantua, Ohio. The 244,000-square-foot facility represents a $178 million investment and will create approximately 68 new jobs in the first two years. It will produce Viega press technology systems and serve as a key distribution hub and training center for customers across the eastern United States and Canada.
What opportunities and challenges does your company face?
As Viega North America continues to expand its product offerings and domestic manufacturing capabilities, we see tremendous opportunities in advancing sustainable building technologies and meeting the evolving demands of the energy sector. The shift toward high-efficiency systems and the growing focus on water conservation and safety present new areas for innovation and growth. At the same time, we face challenges related to supply chain resilience, workforce development in the skilled trades and adapting to rapidly changing regulations and market conditions.
In your opinion, what will be the role of natural gas in the next 50 years?
We believe that natural gas will continue to provide reliable, flexible energy for buildings and many industrial processes in the near-to-medium term. Our field experience and product lines (for example, MegaPressG and ProPressG) are built around safe, efficient delivery and installation of gas infrastructure. We expect the gas network to become more multi-fuel and lower-carbon. Viega’s systems are already specified for gas applications and some of our product documentation highlights compatibility with hydrogen and other special media, positioning our press-connection approach as a practical way to adapt existing infrastructure. Viega is committed to supporting customers through this transition while reducing our own footprint. We have set a goal to make our production and all facilities climate-neutral by 2035 and continue to pursue product and process improvements that lower life-cycle emissions. That commitment informs how we design systems for today’s gas needs while enabling tomorrow’s reduced-carbon pathways.
