    While a German-owned company, Viega LLC has made a substantial commitment to the North American market. Currently, Viega employs 1,200 professionals across the United States working in multiple facilities including their North American headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, the Viega seminar center in Nashua, New Hampshire, the Viega Experience Center in New York, and a manufacturing plant in McPherson, Kansas.

    This not only represents a significant investment in American talent but also reflects Viega’s long-term commitment to serving customers throughout North America.

    Strategic Expansion

    Viega’s new facility, opening in September in Mantua, OH—about 40 minutes south of Cleveland—represents a strategic expansion to meet growing demand for Viega products across the eastern United States.

    The decision to build this facility was driven by several factors. First, Viega’s innovative press technology solutions have seen robust market share growth, particularly in construction throughout the Northeast and Midwest. The new facility will enable the company to better serve these markets with improved logistics and faster delivery times.

    The facility encompasses approximately 220,000 square feet. It will serve as both a manufacturing center for press fittings and as a regional distribution hub. The new plant will create 68 new jobs across production, logistics, engineering, and administrative roles.  

    Sustainability was a central consideration in the facility's design. The building is pursuing LEED Gold certification, featuring energy-efficient systems, water conservation measures, and extensive use of natural lighting.

    Viega has also invested in state-of-the-art automation for its manufacturing processes, helping to ensure quality consistency and worker safety. The facility includes a dedicated training center where contractors and distributors can receive hands-on experience with Viega systems and technology.

    Grand Opening

    The new Ohio facility will be operational as of July 2025 and grand opening festivities are scheduled for September 4, 2025 in Mantua, OH.

    The company hopes to engage the local community, political leadership and other partners who reflect the economic significance of Viega’s investment in the region and the job creation it represents.

    Members of Viega’s North American leadership team will be present, led by Chief Executive Officer of Viega North America, Marki Huston. The company’s Global Executive Leadership will also be in attendance. During the celebration, Viega will recognize community partners, local construction teams and employees who have worked tirelessly to bring this project from concept to reality.
