Our History

The Viking Group traces its roots back to the 1880s when Emil Tyden, a Swedish immigrant, developed an innovative railroad car seal in Chicago. In the late 1890s, Tyden was introduced to a businessman in Michigan who convinced him to move to Hastings, where he founded the International Seal and Lock Company to manufacture the patented seals. Tyden went on to create one of the world's first automation systems – fully a decade before Henry Ford mass-produced automobiles.

After a fire destroyed his factory in 1920, Tyden resolved to enter the fire sprinkler business. He was introduced to a St. Louis businessman who claimed to have developed some designs for fire sprinklers and valves. After it became apparent that the business was in trouble, Tyden bought 100% interest in The Viking Corporation and began manufacturing fire sprinklers and valves in Hastings.

Today, Viking Group, Inc. continues to serve contractors around the world with the highest quality and most advanced fire protection products and systems in the industry.
