Caledonia, MI – Viking SupplyNet, an industry-leading distributor of fire protection products, is proud to announce its newest facility is open for business in the Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan area. This expansion reflects the company’s ongoing investment in the region where the Viking legacy first began.
Viking’s history dates back to the 1890s, when Emil Tyden opened a railroad seal and lock manufacturing plant. After a devastating fire destroyed the facility, Tyden turned his focus to developing fire protection and life safety products, determined to safeguard people and property. For more than a century, Viking has carried forward that mission—protecting lives and investments while growing operations across the U.S. and abroad with fabrication, global distribution, and industry-leading service.
“In many ways, this expansion feels like a homecoming,” said Justin Moss, Vice President - Operations at Viking Group. “We’re proud to grow right here in the community where Viking’s story began, and to continue building on our history of innovation, service, and protecting what matters most.”
The new distribution branch is located on the campus of Viking Group, Inc.’s headquarters, just over four miles from Gerald R. Ford International Airport and within close reach of downtown Grand Rapids attractions such as Van Andel Arena, the Amway Grand Plaza, and a wide variety of restaurants and entertainment venues. Conveniently situated near M-37 “The Beltline,” M-6, and U.S. 131, the location offers easy access for customers across the region.
