Viking Range, LLC

Viking Range, LLC introduced professional performance to the home kitchen with our flagship ranges in 1987, and a culinary revolution was born. Thanks to demand and innovation, our line quickly grew into the complete Viking kitchen (both indoor and out). The Viking Life embodies the epicurean lifestyle available through our products, relationships, Viking Cooking Schools, and our world-class Alluvian Resort. On December 31, 2012, The Middleby Corporation, a global leader in the commercial foodservice equipment industry, acquired Viking. Middleby has more than 50 companies in its portfolio and has a proven track record of acquiring and growing companies through bringing innovative, patented products to the market. Many synergies and growth opportunities exist between Viking and other Middleby brands and the acquisition of Viking strategically positioned Middleby to expand into the residential market with a strong, leading brand. Middleby has an established presence outside of the U.S., which will help Viking expand to new markets in the future. From recipes to design cues, we believe the kitchen should be a collaborative space. So please share your ideas and tips with us!
