Last update: 01/14/2010

Company Overview

Viking Range Corporation introduced professional-quality cooking to the home when its first range shipped in 1987. The company’s passion for perfection is relentless. In the process, Viking sparked a renaissance in its historic hometown of Greenwood, Mississippi, USA, renovating historic buildings for its offices and opening a hotel, restaurants and a world-class cooking school visited by renowned chefs from Jacques Pepin to Emeril Lagasse.
