The company was founded in the mid-1990s by Rick Leonhard (President) and is also led and co-owned by brother Robb Leonhard (Vice-President), RC Huhn (CFO), and Scott Miller (VP of Operations). The company’s success as a packaging machinery sales organization led to the creation of Viking manufacturing and service.
While experiencing tremendous growth, the four partners decided to grow a more global presence and formed an exclusive partnership with Masek of the Czech Republic, a dominant European packaging machinery company. This led to the formation of Viking Masek Global Packaging Technologies.
Fueled by unprecedented growth in 2015, Viking Masek embarked on the first phase of the expansion of their US headquarters in Oostburg, WI, adding 18,000 square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space as well as additional office space to the north side of their current facility. In mid-2016, Viking Masek began the second phase of their facility expansion project, adding more sales offices and another conference room to the south side of their building.
